thank you so much for the great video ………the dealer wants $240.00 to
install 4 plugs!!!!!!!!
K24 for the win!
Perfectly clear — thank you! And thanks to Jesse C. for the note on the
anti-seize.
Excellent video sir. Thank you.
Whats the name of all the tools used?
Great video. Big help. Needed a refresher. engine looks great.
I liked the video, but I would like to add that NGK plates their spark plug
threads with a trivalent plating. This is done so that the plugs can be put
in dry and come undone later without any issues. NGK actually recommends
you not put anti-seize on the threads as it can alter the torque value by
up to 20%. I know a lot of people that still do use anti-seize, but at
least for NGK it’s not a necessity.
Contrary to popular belief “high performance” spark plugs are NOT a good
idea, especially on modern vehicles which are tuned specifically for a
desired output. Often times this output is best or possibly only achieved
with the exact original plugs used when the car left the factory.
A little side story, back in ’83 my parents unknowingly bought “high
performance” spark plugs and put in a 4 cylinder Ford Mustang. The spark
plugs created a hotter spark which caused premature detonation of the fuel,
the resulting knock was so severe it actually bent a rod in the motor.
Might seem silly, might sound foolish, you might think they’re idiots, but
in the end the idea is that substituting a spark plug for a non OEM
recommended plug on a stock motor is almost guaranteed to suffer
performance and mileage if not damage.
awesome video !!!
