Just as the title says, I’ve tried to look into doing this myself and I’m wondering if it’s worth the money to have some professionals do it right or if this is where I could potentially save myself a few hundred. Are spark plugs difficult to DIY or is it pretty manageable / has margin for error incase you don’t tighten it perfectly?

I’ve seen folks explain the need for torque wrenches which I’m not familiar with, likewise I’m not sure where’s the best place to buy Iridium spark plugs / if there’s better Iridium ones than others. Really just looking for general advice or tips / tricks, tools that I absolutely need, etc. before I go in to attempt doing this on my own.

Thank you all in advance, I appreciate it!

I’m sure many of you have kept yourself well-informed of everything going on with federal loans as of recent; I haven’t been the greatest at keeping up with the finalized OBBB statements regarding our loans until today! Incase any of you haven’t yet, I wanted to give you a reminder about something you should ensure is all in order.

🚨 You have until July 1st, 2028 to choose whether or not you stay on a Legacy IBR plan and stick with it, or switch to the new RAP plan. 🚨

In most cases, sticking with the old IBR plan is ideal with the compensation we receive, and if you’re 100% certain you’ll be finishing out your PSLF. In the perfusion discord I’ve updated the details explaining the 2 plans and how they calculate your monthly payments if you’re interested in that. Just remember if you switch to RAP, that is currently a permanent move and you won’t be able to switch back unless legislation changes.

Happy clamping!
