Hi there, They may be a little tight coming out. Normally, a cold engine is the prefered method. Use a single drop of synthetic oil on the threads and torque to 11 ft lbs. Allthebest, c4c5 | ||||||||||||||||||||

it is a little unnerving when they are that tight but they usually come out some GM heat valve lube works well also  Steve
