located just above the top of the engine block are the spark plugs...for 2 of the plugs u have to unscrew piece then proceed by using a spark plgu wrench and taking them out and replaceing them all..i think the tutoral can best serve u most..it did 4 me. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

I have not done mine yet (still talking myself into it)... but does the plugs have the compression ring on them (ie. washer) or is it a metal to metal on the install? Also, does anyone know what the torque should be for the plugs? Or is it just like 1/2 turn after finger tight or something...

service manual doesn't say anything about a compression ring or anything. just put it in like a regular spark plug and torque it to 18 ft. lb

I think there is but not for sure. I wouldn't worry about it. When you buy plugs, they will come correct for your car. Besides, it's not a part they put in after the fact. Compression rings are done at the manufacturer and part of the sparkplug.

BTW, if any of you are looking for a reference for the V6, I have pictures and what not under the tutorials section for "Removing Air-Intake Plenum" here ('https://www.thegalantcenter.com').
