In this video, I will show you how to install spark plugs in a Honda Accord.

NOTE:
Do not put anti-seize on the spark plug thread. Car manufacturers don’t put anti-seize when building the engine. NGK specifically tell customers not to put it on. Doing so will allow for over torquing of the spark plug. The torque spec specified is for installation without anti-seize.

Info from NGK:

Anti-seize
NGK spark plugs feature what is known as trivalent plating. This silver- or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without the use of anti-seize. NGK tech support has received a number of tech calls from installers who have over-tightened spark plugs because of the use of anti-seize. Anti-seize compound can act as a lubricant altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage.

Great,mi need to do this on my 2012 Honda. That Honda engine IMO best 4 cylinder engine In the world. Why Honda quit making it is beyond me. We see how long 1.5Ts last. I usually use aluminum anti-seize compound on spark plug threads on aluminum headed engines. What’s you thoughts on that?

Question because I don't know but are we supposed to use some type of grease on the boot when changing the spark plugs?

Nice video. One adder I have a 2010 accord and the electrical connection to the coil may need to use a small screwdriver to lift the catch to allow you to remove the electrical connection. I used a NGK plug that looked slightly different but worked okay. I would recommend using a torque wrench ($43) unless you are really comfortable with the installation https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C5ZL2EG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. You need a 1/4" female to 3/8" male to use the torque wrench. I had some of these tools on hand if you had to purchase all the needed tools

I also purchased a Kobalt 5/8" spark plug socket ($5.50). I used a 10" 3/8" extension which I had and it worked fine. The electric tape trick in the video worked excellently . My mechanic quoted $200, the plugs and tools I needed were about $90 (savings about $110). It took me a a couple of hours of install work, had to purchase some tools both in town and amazon which also took a couple of hours. ti did save some money but I took my time to ensure I got it right. I would not be able to make money as a mechanic at this gig (LOL).
