Sounds pretty silly...but I have look everywhere.

You must remove the black plastic shroud from the top of the engine. A torx screwdriver is required. I *think* the size is 25.

I removed both plastic shrouds, I only saw what I beleived to be the fuel injectors...but no plugs.

Here's a pic... the orange arrows show four of the eight or so torx holding on the shroud that covers the spark plugs.

The yellow arrow shows the metal fuel injector rail shroud.

Apologies if the 70-series engines and shrouds were changed from what you see here/what I'm explaining. This is my 850. I was a bit confused the first time I looked for them too.

Glad I wasn't the only one confused the first time I changed my plugs. Remove the shroud, you'll see 5 electronic assemblies each fastened with 2 bolts. Unscrew the bolts, unplug the wire, and lift up. The plugs are underneath. You might want to vacuum or blow out the area first as the plugs are down in these nifty little dirt funnels--once you take out the plug, any dirt there will drop straight into the cylinder.
