Spark plug change

Also, pay particular attention to the torque recommendations for the plugs, coil bolts, and coil cover bolts. Do not overtorque the coil/coil cover bolts or you will strip the threaded female receptacle from the covers. Just this weekend I discovered the previous owner of my XJR did not pay such careful attention, much to my surprise and dismay. Driver's side bank cover only had two good bolts left.

Gus, a regular poster on the XK8/R forum has a pictoral on his website on the plug change and a lot more information.

There isn't anything of the super charger in the way of the coil covers and plug access. Remove the air intake and follow the standard procedure.
If you don't have a torque wrench, buy one. You don't have to get a high dollar one, but get a decent one. I recommend craftsman for an inexpensive good one. Also, anti-seize on the plug threads, die electric grease on the plug boots.
