Tin cylindrical shields like on a Chrysler 5.2 v-8 are lightly pressed into the head and can be removed by grabbing them with pliers and pulling them out with a back and forth motion.
On each side of the engine, four of the bolts that attach the exhaust manifolds to the head, first go through the heat shield, through the exhaust manifold and into the head. These four bolts must be removed to get the spark plug heat shields off.
No. Remove the passenger seat, remove the cosmetic panel under the passenger door, peel of the carpet and unbolt the access cover. Younow can see the engine head where your spark plugs are.
If you are referring to the 4 cyl engine, there are caps covering the spark plugs and you can remove the caps with a Philips head screwdriver. Gently pulling the plastic up will reveal the rubber hole cover and the spark plug hole.
Usually the cylinder head holds the spark plugs.
Simple, first you want to remove the plastic cover from the head (this covers the plug wires) then remove the wires and spark plugs. Once that is done remove the engines ground its on the right side of the engine its a small brown wire near the front of the engine. Then all you have to do is remove the bolts holding the head in place, and that's about it...
remove the spark plugs, remove the head , remove the heat shield, remove the y pipe exhaust, remove the air box and carbs, remove the jug (cylinder) this exposes the rod and piston tale out c clips remove from rod.
If the engine is twincam, probaply head cover gasket is broken. Then oil from the head reach one or more spark plugs and when the engine is hot this oil causes smoke. You can find out if so, when remove the spark plugs one or more of them will have oil on the trade.
Start with a cool engine, do not do this job with the engine hot. The head is made of aluminum and can be easily damaged when hot. Remove the plastic engine cover. Using an Allen wrench remove the coil packs (some models do not require the Allen wrench). You can now see the plugs inside the head. Using the appropriate spark plug socket remove the spark plugs. Check the gap on your new spark plugs and start screwing them in by hand to prevent cross threading the plugs. You'll have to use an extension to get the plug down into the head. Use a torque wrench to tighten to the appropriate torque, overtightening can ruin the aluminum head. The job should take 45 minutes to an hour.
If you have the 2.2 liter engine, there are two (2) bolts that hold the cover on the top of the engine. These bolts will require a hex head (Allen wrench) to remove and tighten. Remove these bolts, lift the plastic cover up, and you will see the four spark plug wires leading to each spark plug. Twist and then pull straight up (you may have a plastic hook on each wire) to remove the wire. Then you can use a 5/8" spark plug wrench with a long (6") extension to remove and replace each spark plug.
You need a tool called a cylinder leakage tester. You remove the spark plugs and rocker arms, install the tool, and pressurize the cylinders to check for damaged valves.The other options are to install a new timing belt and try to start the engine, or remove the head and visually inspect.You need a tool called a cylinder leakage tester.

they are at the top of the cylinder head and just use a socket or wrench to remove it
Under the spark plug wires in the cylinder head, on top of the engine.
