I cringed when I saw you drop the new spark plug into the well. If you used a proper spark plug socket with rubber holder inside, you could guide the new plug into the well without worrying about the tip hitting the bottom and changing the gap. I do need to get a new extension though. I also have that same torque wrench.
It is worth mentioning that you should check with a Honda dealer parts department on what exact plugs your vehicle takes. This is done by using the VIN number when speaking with the parts department. I say this because my Honda Accord takes the NGK IZFR6K-13 plugs gapped at .052 and not the NGK IZFR6K-11 plugs, gapped at .044. This is because my car is a SULEV and PZEV model. The car and emission system and tuning were designed for this plug. Without using the VIN to check I would not have realized this because NGK's site lists both plugs for a 2007 Honda Accord.
Very educational but why didn’t you just unplug everything unscrew everything and just change out all the spark plugs at the same time instead of connecting everything one by one?
@@Arod06 gap is the same as calibrate, every spark plug needs to be gapped or calibrated unless you get iridium because those come pre gapped.. adjusting the distance between the two electrodes
Thanks for sharing bro. Mine is rough idling. 230k miles on the original plugs. Bout time to change them out. Great info in the video.
And did you, and is it running smoother?
If u use a spark plug socket you wont need the extendable magnet just a little hint
Very informative. Especially the 13 foot-pounds. Thank you.

Were you having problems starting the car? slow starting? did this fix your problem or was it the starter???
Torquing anything into an aluminum body is never overkill. Aluminum strips quite easily when overtorqued.
No anti sieze? 😬

Why did you turn the key in the ignition at the beginning??
probably to show his car wouldn't start and had bad spark plugs.
Thanks for this and cool music
Why did you change your spark plugs? It still looked good and probably would of lasted you another 50k miles.

does this also make the hiccup sound when ur starting it up quieter
You got yourself some counterfeit nkg plugs lol
What size Allen wrench
6 mm
Did you need to gap them before installing?
Lewis obviously
The ones he used are iridium so no those come pre gapped
What is gap them I’m gonna be changing mine soon just would look to know what term means when dealing with a spark plug change thank you

Thanks for the detailed video. Very easy to follow.
Your old spark plugs look fine. What were the miles on them.
Look again the Gap is blown on them almost double the needed 1.1mm
