After replacing spark plugs and wires, inspect the distributor cap for signs of damage. Just as spark plugs and wires can wear out over time, your vehicle’s distributor cap may not last forever.

Distributor Cap: This part only applies to vehicles that have distributors.

If you notice signs of wear and tear or other damage, replacing spark plug wires when you add new spark plugs is a good idea. Still, your plug wires are essential components.

Spark Plug Wires: You may be able to reuse your existing spark plug wires after replacing old, damaged or ineffective plugs.

When using an anti-seize product, though, you likely need to reduce the torque by up to 10% on each plug. When you apply this product to the spark plugs before installing them, you reduce the risk of having plugs fuse to engine parts. Anti-Seize Lubricant: If your plugs were really hard to remove, it might be because the previous installer didn’t use an anti-seize product.In need of a different size?
