A while back I had my van in the service center, (read: dealers garage)
for some smog work. I casually mentioned that "while the doghouse is
off, you might as well change the plugs." The shop superintendent, (a
flying friend of mine) ordered it done. $80, with the doghouse already
off. If I had known, I would have picked up a set of plugs, and done
it myself in less than an hour. And yes, I've done it many times. <br>

<div>Last time my son flew his Mooney M20J Turbo here he had to
have the plugs (8)replaced (power way down @ 18,000ASL, two plugs
dropping out). Cost installed $580</div>
