    This is how teachers show you stuff. Teach you the easiest possible scenario then the test is spark plug #8 which they didnt prepare you.

  • @samr9520
    @samr9520 Рік тому +29

    Number 8: Use a 1.5" extension or no extension with the spark plug socket. Without the rachet, install the socket/extension by hand. Next attach the rachet down low. Best use a long handle rachet. Also you need a step ladder🪜 - i got a good one at Lowe's.. basically you'll be laying on the engine really loving your Chevy while removing the back passenger plug 😁

    I replace : pcv, motor/transmission mount, o2 sensors, spark plugs, ignition coil.
    Cleaned: throttle body, maf sensor, and use fuel treatment cleaner.
    I believe I mentioned all I've done, but had many shops check it out and they all say it fine.
    So you have any clue or what I can do to fix it?

      @xhoustonkingx6212 6 років тому +10

      Found out last night it recommends 11 ft lbs torque for spark plugs. I accidentally broke two spark plugs. Maybe I did too much torque or maybe it was because the brand Bosch. But I went back to the store bought the ac Delco platinum pre gapped at .040 and double checked them carefully with the spark plug gap tool just to make sure it was right. Didn't put any anti seize either this time. Turned the spark plugs by hand then finished tightening them with the ratchet and spark plug socket. Once it was starting to tighten almost all the way. I did a little less than 1/4" turn with the ratchet. Now my vehicle is running fine and I didn't break any spark plugs. Thanks anyway for the video. All the spark plugs were easy except the back right one on the passenger side of vehicle. Wish the engineers had to work on what they made. But they never do in any type of field that I know of -_-
