They are aluminum head engines, and spark plug threads are steel so after they are in there for a. while they like to come out as easy as cast iron head engine. I always use some anti-seize and put it on the spark plug threads. Then use a 10" or 12" long piece of 5/16" fuel hose, stick end of plug in, and screw in spark plug with fuel line untill it stops and then use rachet,socket,extension to tighten 1/16" turn. Hose keeps from cross threading plug going in, anti-seize makes it easier for next plug change.
