Loose Spark Plugs

Loose spark plugs. Put a set of plugs in my 352 not to long ago and about every 100 miles or so they work loose. It doesn't matter how tight I put them in they work loose. What do you suppose is up with that? Now that I think about it they didn't have the seating washers on them. Can't remember if they should have washers or not now.

I had that problem frequently when I used Autolite plugs. I changed to a better brand and solved that little issue. I used Bosch platinum and they were great. Just my experience............Good luck

Do they have washers on them, or just a straight plug?
