Changing the Spark Plugs
HGK257

WARNING:
NOTE:
HGK256
It is recommended that the engine be cool
or cold when changing the spark plugs. If
the engine is hot, you could burn yourself
on the insulated connector, the spark plug
or the engine itself.
Spark plugs should be tightened firmly. Over-
tightening can damage the threads in the
aluminum cylinder head. Also, leaving them
too loose can cause the spark plug to get
very hot and possibly result in damage to
the engine.
You will find it easier to change spark plugs if
the engine is cold. Always change one spark
plug at a time. This helps avoid getting the wires
mixed up.
1.
Remove the engine rocker cover.
4.
When preparing to remove the old spark
plug, guide the socket down over the spark
plug, being careful not to damage the ce-
ramic insulator.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the spark plugs for
2.7L Engines should be changed by an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer.
7. Replace the cable by pushing the insulated
connector directly down onto the electrode.
Check to be sure it has snapped into place
and can't fall off.
5.
To remove the old spark plug, turn the
wrench handle in a counterclockwise direc-
tion.
2
. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that has
accumulated around the base of the spark
plug so it cannot fall into the cylinder when
the spark plug is removed.
6. To install the new spark plug, guide the
socket down over the spark plug, being
careful not to damage the ceramic insulator.
3.
To remove the spark plug cable, pull straight
up on the insulated connector, not the cable.
Pulling on the cable may damage the carbon
core conductor.
