Spark plugs?
I think one of my spark plugs is starting to come lose and I was wondering what tools are needed in order to tighten them thanks in advance guys.

Spark plug deep socket, ratchet and a hand like a universal joint. Make sure the leads are securely fitted too

The reason is it happened a few months back when a light knocking noise started then pop it came out and the noise is the same as last time it happened before the plug came out.

the plug shouldnt just pop out, i would suggest there is a problem that needs to be rectified rather than just tightening the plug down again!

Sounds like the threads may be stripping in the head.

I'd get a mirror down there to check on the condition of the plug seat/threads, can you post a pick of the plug?
