Changing Spark Plugs 300C

Not hard at all, and yes like anything you don't want to leave the plugs to loose or overtighten them.

OT , Glenn , do you know where i can see a photo of Dodge Stratus 2400cc engine crank pulley and cam gear ? Trying to figure how much clearance between the pulley and gear , or is pullley designed to compress gear a bit ?

Im curious .... does 300C have long tubes that plug drops down into ? i see many newer engines have these . Hard to clean ! My 2000 Toy 2700cc had them . I dump gas in the hole and blew out with shop air , but you always fear there's something that will drop down in the hole and enter cylinder as you pull the plug out ! Long ago , buddy of mine destroyed RX7 engine . All he did was change plugs , but a bit of carbon dropped into the engine and bit off large pieces of the aluminum matric apex seals . Fortunately , common engines can tolerate lots of carbon breaking off and bouncing out the exhaust pipe . Water injection can remove carbon from cylinders ...

NEW engines? Those were used on the 1950s Hemis, and again in the 60's on the 426 Hemi. The slant-6 also had little short ones, not nearly as long.

The timing belt crank gear bottoms out on the crankshaft and the harmonic/pulley bottoms out on the timing belt gear
