1 plug per cylinder so 6
I think it's .06 but if you get Bosch Platinum plugs, you won't have to worry about it.
A 6-cylinder has SIX and a 4-cylinder has FOUR spark plugs.... Am I missing something here?
The firing order for a 1980 Buick Skylark with a 2.6 L 4-cylinder engine is 1-3-4-2. This means that the spark plugs fire in that specific sequence to ensure proper engine operation. It's important to follow this firing order for optimal performance and engine balance.
It's a royal pain... The back plugs are the hardest to get at if you have a 6-cylinder engine. It's not impossible but you might have to rely on sense of feel. (Who designs these things anyway?)
where are the freeze plugs located on a 1996 buick skylard
Yes, you still need to make sure that the plugs are firing when it's their turn.
There would be six spark plugs for a six cylinder engine. One for each cylinder. Unless it is a diesel, then there are no spark plugs.
On a 1996 Buick Roadmaster, the spark plugs are located on the engine's cylinder heads. This vehicle typically has a V8 engine, so you will find the spark plugs on either side of the engine, beneath the ignition coils and covered by the engine's intake manifold. To access them, you'll need to remove the ignition coil packs and possibly the intake manifold, depending on the specific engine configuration.
.060 is the typical spark plug gap for your engine.
If it's a 6 cylinder , 6 , if 8 cylinder , which I think Buick does not make in that model , it would be 8 .
Usually the cylinder head holds the spark plugs.
On the four cylinder dohc model they are located below a cover directly on top of the engine that requieres the removal of four bolts. the cover says 2.4 liter on it. as you remove it be careful as the whole assembly that connects with the plugs will come out too. Oh and don't forget to disconect the wiring harness that goes to the ingnition module that is also attached to this same cover.
