FFS, when it comes to putting the spark plugs in, don't take it to the garage where you took it for a service!

I think I'm doing it! Did ask Lee why he didn't put them in after he'd built it up EDIT - just to add the head does look good, far better (and cleaner) than if I'd have done it. For some reason, I'm not longer allowed to put engine parts through the dishwasher. Apparently it does something bad.

When I put the plugs in mine, I guess they're finger tight plus a 'nip-up'. I could go further but I don't. When I come to take them out after some time of driving later they are quite tight in. Now I know i didn't put them in that tight. It's like they sort of tighten themselves.

Can't imagine why the apprehension I know I'd be eating my gentlemen vegetables if I put some car parts in the dishwasher

Don't let Joe attend. You know what he'd fit in the plug hole

There is NO parts washer in the world that would 'clean' the head after that
