Is is bad to change spark plugs when an engine warm?

It is not recommended to change spark plugs when the engine is warm because it can cause the threads in the cylinder head to become damaged. When the engine is warm, the metal is more likely to expand and contract, which can put stress on the threads and cause them to strip or break. It is best to wait until the engine is completely cool before attempting to change the spark plugs.
