7 spark plugs..

So i go to my local checkers store..where i always go to buy parts.. pick up new spark plugs, cuz it says it has it in stock. i get there... i give em my coupon.. and they tell me they have 7 spark plugs. im like WTF who has a V7?! so.. they tell me come back tommorow. i do. they still only have 7. they tell me sorry, no more, im sure this (other checkers) store has.. so i go THERE... to find...

6 spark plugs!

and im thinking FUCK why didnt they just let me take the 7...then grab 1 later?!


bastards.

Re: 7 spark plugs..

That's messed up. But I can understand them having an odd number. Somebody needed to replace only 1 plug, perhaps they broke 1 or something. But yeah, you should have bought the 7 and picked the extra one up at the other place. You and your damn V8.

Re: 7 spark plugs..

lol.. yeah. so i finally got all 8 and anti-seize and everything.. at around 8pm tonight.. and i finished at 11 ;_;

with lots of swearing..i swear, i hate these damn LT1's...

5 spark plugs in < 15 min.. the last 3 took the other 2:45 ...

i hate the EGR. i really really hate it. i almost broke my arm cuz i had the car up on stands and i had my arm in a weird position and i almost tripped. god. i can see why people would rather take out the whole fkkin engine. and do everything at once...

Taht my friend is probably why there was only 7, cause someone else got sick of the job doing there's and left one in, probably #8, lost the new plug for it, and down the road in time develeoped a misfire and said "the hell with it, I'm only replacing the one."

Or,

one from another box had a crack insulator?

dropped on the floor ??

Either way, stuff like that does get annoying quick. why wouldn't they have the other store or warehouse bring a full set?

Thats why you need an ls1. Takes me 45 minutes to change all 8.

Re: 7 spark plugs..
