Spark Plug quesitons
I am going to replace my stock spark plugs with NGK Coppers @45k. What is the part number I need and what is the correct gap?

Also, Has anyone changed their PCV valve on 5th gens? I know where it is(pain to reach), but am wondering if someone has an easy method to remove it.

Why is that? Coppers perform the same as platinums or any other plugs on the market. The only drawback is that they need to be changed more often, but I am getting rid of my car hopefully very soon.

Copper is a better conductor than Platnium. The thing about platnium is that it lasts ALOT longer. But the coppers are much cheaper
