engine out job. but how can you screw a plug in to far? it's only like a bolt and will tighten up till the shoulder of the plug bottoms out on the head.

I think you would hear a distinctive tapping noise of the piston wacking the plug if it was too far in !

i remember now, think it has the wrong plugs in, long reach ones instead of the short ones it should have. only way to find out is to whip the heads of and have a look. try and take one out first, if it fooks up then you are deff going to have to remove the head.
