On the other hand taking out all the plugs forces you to look at them.
This is a good thing in the preventative maintenance plan

here is my method....
much easier then taking out ALL spark plugs...

I was told to put the car in 4th gear,
release parking brake, and roll the car
(i grip the front tire and roll while keeping an
eye on the opening of the valves) by rolling,
i can rock to obtain the precise opening point.

is this a bad method?
