The spark plugs u have linked no longer work. Are you able to tell me where and what to get? Thanks!!
Is this same procedure for year 2010 Rx 350?
Thanks
Completed the job. Now I have error messages and can’t start up the car. Anybody else had this happen? Any suggestions?
I'm at 151000 miles original plugs and brake pads, no driving issues just going to change because I'm board
All these newer cars are a joke to work on all car brands period.
Great video!!
fuck…i bought the wrong car .
Wow! Great video, badly designed access to the spark plugs!
You got part numbers for all gaskets used?
So far there are 113 LIKES with ZERO DISLIKES, Great job. One more LIKE from me to make it 114.
Put a short length of masking tape along the top line of the wipers on the glass before you remove.
Never miss-align a wiper again!
Super helpful!!
at what mileage should you change the plugs?
AMAZINGLY helpful. Was apprehensive, but worked like a charm. I had oil in one of the front plug holes so had to replace valve cover gasket and plug gaskets. The old plug gaskets were no fun to remove but worked out. Broke 2 valve cover bolts in the head in the process – removing those added a day to the job.
What are you thoughts on trying to take a shortcut by not removing the intake manifold? I have read success stories as such.
Brian, good one especially how to off the electric power from main battery.thank you and cheeeeeeeers
Thank you for using a torque wrench!
If you have ever done a ford 3.5 duratec water pump which is driven by the timing chain, it's a $1,500. job. Good job for us, bad for the customer.
Brian, Another very good video. I like jobs like this. Good money in it and a change of pace from all those brake & suspension jobs. Of course sometimes you have to wonder what those design engineers were thinking.
Wow, what a convoluted pain in the ass to just change the spark plugs! lol Good job man, you made it look fast and easy.
Brian, how much for this job did your shop charged? =))
How much would a job like that go for? That's allot of work for the plugs I like the old fashioned cars lol
