Easy fix. While replacing the lower bank of plugs this afternoon following oil change on the red car, two plugs on the drivers, lower bank were actually only hand tight! I could literally turn the socket with my hand. No more tapping noise. Can't wait to drive it.

I find it very common for plugs to be really really loose. no worries, completely normal!

Whew...! I noticed that the ones in the black car were not nearly as 'loose' but not cranked in either.

Marlon: that's very interesting. Do you know if the plugs were the original ones from the factory?

The plugs had been replaced at the 30-someK mile point in New York with Beru 2-conductor type. I am replacing with Bosch 3-conductor FR5DTC.
