How many spark plugs are in a V8?
I’m looking to possibly buy a 2019 Dodge 1500 Laramie with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8. But I like knowing everything I can about my vehicle before I buy it. The seller says this truck has 16 spark plugs, but I thought V8 engines only had eight. How many spark plugs are in a V8?
