@AHC: Well then don’t buy shitty american cars with transverse V-engines!

You haven’t seen spark plug difficulty unless you’ve seen the likes of the gasser smart cars (6 plugs on a 3cyl, half of which lie under the exahust manifold, and it’s a rear-engined car), or like a porsche (engine’s literally gotta be unbolted and tilted a bit to get at them), heck, the old hemis had 16 plugs!
