Hello from a complete novice mechanic!
I decided that $150 was too much to spend at a shop for a sparkplug replacement on my 2005 Accent, so I'm going to try it myself. Everything looks pretty straightforward except the "gap" part. I just picked up some Champion RC10YC4 plugs at the store ($7!!!) and am almost ready to go to work. Just looking for a little encouragement from an expert, and any tips on the process (especially regarding any gap adjustment I need to do).
Sincerely,
-A broke student who hopes he doesn't ruin his car!

Don't forget to add a small amount of anti-seize to the threads of the plugs. Always use anti-seize on the plugs when the cylinder heads are aluminum.
