huh?! you dont need to remove the engine to change plugs! if you really find it to hard to do by simply pulling the air box and battery out this is what you do.
remove the 2 14mm's for the engine mounts. remove 14mm bolt from pitch stop mount on top of engine. put a jack stand with small block of wood under the trans. lower car on jack stand. this will hike the engine up a good 5 inches. i just did this today to change valve cover gaskets.
