    ^Haha, oh yeah. For the V8's, it's a nightmare lol. For the two cylinders on the drivers side farthest back when facing the engine, cylinders 1 and 3 I think, its a pretty tight sqeeze to get to them, it's going to take some time. Plus the sparck plugs are notorious for breaking off while removing them.

    If it breaks you can still get it out yourself, it's just a lot harder to get because instead of unscrewing the whole plug by hang after loosening it, sometimes the ceramic top breaks off, meaning you have to fit a socket wrench in there to get the rest of the plug out. It's a pretty tight squeeze, which makes it hard to work in. You can do it yourself, only cost to you will be the spark plugs and some time/frustration lol. Have fun.

    I think the engineers at Ford all stood in a circle and said: "lets have a contest: whoever can come up with an engine layout that is almost impossible for an owner to fix on his own wins"

    Seriously. The oil filter on a 4.2L V6 is just about touching the anti-roll bars for the front steering rack. Seriously???
