Default Spark plugs!

Posted a thread a few days ago asking what spark plugs are best to get for my classic turbo 2000, thanks for the reply's not sure if they helped or not lol, but I deffo need new spark plugs as a few minutes after starting the car she idles rough revs drop slightly and sounds like she is going to cut out does this for a few minutes then returns to normal, but I have a few questions:- will this damage the car if I drive it until I change them, does it affect power and how the **** do you take out plug number 4 and then tighten the plug (what exact tool do I need for this)? Thanks in advance Craig.

I would go for NGK iridium or platinum PFR7B's or G's if you are running a modified car as these will run colder at high load, or if you are running a standard car then use NGK PFR6B's.

As for how to fit them, I don't do dirty hands but I am sure many others on here can advise on that.

Short wobbly 3/8 extension bar and a deep socket is the answer for the plugs. My ratchet sits flush with the cam covers when I take the plugs out,

Iv had do my rocker cover (drivers side) and i undid the bottom mount and jacked it up from underneath a bit this gives you a bit extra room, after a few bits are stripped down from above like intake pipe/filter and i took the header tank off
