They are underneath the plastic cover, and then under the 4 coils. Kind of a pain, compared to some vehicles, but an easier job, none the less.

go to a store and ask them for the factory spark plugs for your car. They should come pre gaped and always put in what you take out.

See the coils below the wire loom cover that says "Honda VTEC" on it? See the bolt holding it to the valve cover? Undo that bolt with a 10mm socket, and undo the wiring harness underneath the loom cover.

You will then be able to replace the OEM plug. Repeat 4X, and reverse the process for reinstalling.
