Raider 2WD V6-3.7L (2008)
CAUTION
This engine uses TWO DIFFERENT types of spark plugs. A total of 16 plugs is used. The plugs are mounted in two rows (banks). The upper
row (5) is used on the intake valve side of the cylinder head. The lower row (6) is used on the exhaust valve side of the cylinder head. The
upper row (5) uses Bosch Nickel Yttrium plugs #05149050AB. The lower row (6) uses Bosch Iridium plugs #05149888AA. DO NOT
INTERCHANGE THESE PLUGS.
CAUTION
Never use a motorized wire wheel brush to clean spark plugs. Metallic deposits will remain on spark plug insulator and will cause plug
misfire.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to clean any of the spark plugs. Replace only.
1. To aid in coil installation, apply proper silicone based grease such into spark plug end of rubber boots (4) and (7). Also apply this grease to the
tops of spark plugs (5) and (6).
2. Check and adjust spark plug gap with a gap gauging tool (1). Refer to the Spark Plug Specification section for plug gap. Two different gaps are
used.
3. Start the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand to avoid cross threading. Special care should be taken when installing spark plugs into the
cylinder head spark plug wells. Be sure the plugs do not drop into the plug wells as electrodes can be damaged.
