The cap on the "Lizard Lotion applicator" contains the "Lizard Lotion" in the "Lizard Lotion applicator. Without the cap you would have a "Loose Lizard Lotion facial " and thus a bad day. The quote "It puts the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again" comes to my warped mind. I really need to evaluate my direction in life. Nice catch on the cracked insulators on the plugs. I really enjoy your videos, thanks for all you do.
The number on the spark plug is an interchange number. As a former auto parts store employee, I can tell you that the interchange number works wonders aside from the part number! You can type in the interchange number on the online catalog and it'll pull up multiple brands of the same design spark plug but if you just type in the part number, it'll only pull up those spark plugs alone and sometimes other parts that come close to matching the part number you typed in will pop up!
Little tip for you Ray. On the BG cleaning bottle that you were using on the side opposite where the air connector and regulator is a little button you can push to vent the excess pressure left in the bottle after you disconnect the shop air supply. It's hard to spot it looks like part of the hinge for the hanger but it's actually the pressure release vent.
Installation cracks on plugs would normally would be horizontal near the bottom because when you put the swivel on you push the top of the plug sideways and then it cracks across the bottom of the porcelain. Since these were longitudinal cracks, I suspect these are actually counterfeit plugs that just aren’t made right and when they got hot, the inside of the plug expanded in the porcelain and it cracked that porcelain. It’s the same thing you see in concrete when a rebar rusts and you get those long longitudinal cracks.
@@MacRODesign55 I broke one plug 40 years ago by letting the socket go sideways with the swivel. I heard it crack but ignored it. An hour later I was replacing it.
That last spark plug reminds me of a neighbor who took his Buick Roadmast Limited to a Dealership to have a tune-up. about 100 miles later he ask me why his his Buick was misfiring. I had an old Snap-on Scanner that is only good up to 2003 vehicles. I'm retired but I picked up on the misfire. Both cylinder 7 & 8 spark plugs had cracks. Hard to get to and just as bad installing them. Luckly I still had my Snap on plug socket. Car ran great afterwards! I'm 74 and don't really tinker with vehicles anymore! Keep up the great work!!!
Just fixed a cylinder 8 miss fire on a 5.4. Found the last place that did a tune up didn't replace spark plugs on cylinders 4 and 8 Good job pep boy's! Plus the 6 they did replace they put different plugs on each side of the engine.
I would love to see that#8 piston after that cleaning procedure. My old mechanic used to use a similar system but he decided to do a looky loo before and after on one of the vehicles and did not see any difference. I would love to see if the products have changed and they actually work.
Immediately after might not be the right time to see how the product works, but perhaps a couple of hundred miles of engine time. If the cleaning was instant or very fast, it could send big flakes and chunks into the exhaust part of the engine, and possibly clogging the catalyst mesh in the converter(s). If the product assists in the slower breakdown of the deposits, it likely prevents causing damage. I don't work in the field, so my statements have a lot of conditionals.
Just those extra little touches you do for your customers, Ray, makes you one of those one-of-a-kind mechanics. That nice battery terminal cleaning you did for your customer, is just totally commendable. It has me wishing I lived in Florida, so I could bring my vehicle to you, too.
I have been missing every episode cause of all sorts of busy times 😢 glad you are posting, and happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you family;ray, and everyone else here.
Good day ray, would really enjoy to see before and after using the carbon cleaner with a borescope. Would even prove the haters wrong… or prove you wrong but either way would love to see it!
I have removed heads from engines after running a can of GM Top engine cleaner thru it on a hot engine and running 1/2 the can in then letting it sit 30 mins then run last 1/2 thru and test drive it like you stole it. . The intake runners and piston tops were exceptionally clean and any deposits left were soft wan would have clean up with injector spray and air movement after running the engine
I have a Kia Cerato (Forte) with a 2l GDI engine and run a can of CRC GDI Valve Cleaner through the fuel system every 6 months. It seems to reallybwork in cleaning the carbon from the back of the valves but despite the instructions I would say the engine needs a longer heat sink for the carbon to devreleased from the valves. When it happens it is like an old James Bond movie when a smoke screen is released from the rear of the car . You can really feel the difference.
Interesting that both cracked porcelains were on plugs against the firewall. What do you attribute that to? No swivel on the socket, maybe. Additional heat? Eristicat, below, suggests that these plugs may be counterfeit. If that's true, that could explain the verticle cracks. I've never seen that before. However I have seen them cracked around the base.
I can’t remember what creator tested multiple cold air intakes and filters. The test showed that the K&N filters let more dirt through the media than the factory. They also found that most cold air kits allowed 40 or more degree warmer air than the factory boxes.
Years ago (about 40) my dad picked up a 74 pinto for us kids to drive. It was in decent shape, very low mileage. A guy up the street got it when his aunt died. It ran very poorly so he did a tune up and replaced the timing belt. He got the timing 180 out. We picked it up really cheap. After fixing the timing it ran great except it just completely lacked any speed ability. Did a compression check and all cylinders were equally low. Yes the 2l ford is not an interference model but that was what it was acting like. Appon pulling the exhaust we could see that the carbon build up on the valves was so bad it was interfering with them closing. We knocked a bunch loose with a screwdriver. Then we set up the windshield wash pump with a turn signal relay and when the car was at operating temperature would turn that on and let it roll. After a month we pulled the manifolds and looked at the progress. Both intake and exhaust were very clean. A little water vapor and some heat does amazing things.
Ooh, I was guessing that it may be counterfeit since more than one porcelain cracks 😮 Had a fake set of nippoDenso plugs for my Nissan... I hated to do the job again after founding out later on and this was during the early 2000s when counterfeit just started to invade eBay and Amazon
They look like aftermarket (Duralast) coils. Did you happen to mention if they were changed already? I know you thought the plugs might of been changed. You have links for the cleaner you put in the car?
I have seen other UA-cam channels show before and after videos after this type of cleaning. Not using the BG product but the same process. They were concentrating on the back of the valves because that's where the worst build up is on DI engines. There was a difference but the results were not what I would call clean. There is a concern for chunks of carbon breaking off with this type of service on higher mileage vehicles. I would personally not do it unless it has been part of the maintenance service since theengine was new, say every 35 or 40k miles. For DI engines a manual or walnut blasting service will get the valves nearly as clean as new. Of course those are much more involved and invasive services and, as such, considerably more expensive.
UA-cam is ruining its business. They recently updated the site. Since then the Ads are outrageous. Every 8-10 minutes 2-3 45 second ads pop up. I know it’s not the content providers fault. It’s so aggravating. Even on live streaming are being interrupted. Never seen that before
Ford part numbers @34:00... There is the catalog number, which for looking the part up in the system, then there is the Motorcraft number, which is the SP-548. I worked at a Ford Dealership for a number of years in the parts department. The Motorcraft number is the number you go by. SP-548-X are platinum spark plugs.
Ray I think your videos have gotten much better and more interesting since you opened your own place. More interesting and detailed repairs. Like some of the in depth diagnosing you do that no other person on the planet earth would do, for example the crappy rebuilt engine install you did for the warranty claim. Man I wish I had someone like you here in CT. How great would it be if we could all see a video of the repairs done to our cars. Would definitely weed out the bad apples. Looking forward to more of the same. 👍
At least the last person didn't over-torque the plugs. My 2014 F!50 5L required a hi torque impact wrench to get the plugs out. I have no idea what the last person was thinking and I was simply happy that the cylinder head survived the extraction. Silly people...
You mentioned how clean the coils look. Those plug wells seal up suprsingly well. My engine got a nasty, silty mud bath, but everything below the coil packs was factory clean.
Never question Ford's parts inventory system. Even they don't understand it. Just remember to keep all original parts for direct comparison, and pray the larger ones still have their paper ID tags from the factory still attached, or you may need a wizard to determine which replacement part you want.
Comment is about Other shows. Other tools, I have had Metrinch tool kit. IT has all tools which only hits the flat side of the nut, or bolt.Had to get when I had a broken spark plug inFord E150 w/ 300in 6. Great tool. I see you have trouble at times with bad nuts. This works.
I had a blue badge dealership do this to my no1 spark plug on my 1500k 2L mk 2 escort on its 1st service plus other damage to ignition system a long time ago.They could not even find the problems.Fixed it myself.
Proud owner of a VW CC 2014 2.0L DSG, 18 moths ago i changed my coil and spark plug and the tip of my coil were full of oil...this engine did'nt have a gasket but a head cover/valve cover seal...so I poured a bottle of AT 205 in the oil. Last week changed my spark plug and surprise surprise no more oil on the tip of the coil and spark plug (will reseal at the timing chain job). BTW amazing transmission the DSG 0-60 in 4 sec, changed the original suspension for Bilstein B-12 wich I highly recommand.
Love your videos man. What I can see through the camera those were carbon tracks and not cracks. The result is the same, it needs plugs in probably coil boots. Often if the coil boot has a carbon track already in it, The new plugs will end up with carbon tracks in the same locations as the previous ones.
I'd observe: 20th century tuneups include spark plug inspections while 21st century requires boroscope cylinder inspections! When adding stuff to fuel tank isn't the amount of fuel already in the tank important? Sort of controlling the concentration of the additive? Did you check new plug gap before install?
I know Ray is against anti seize compound on the spark plugs... Previous service had it on the plug threads when he was pulling the old ones out Yeah, seems plugs were changed already probably by the 100,000 mile mark. But wow, porcelain cracks on more than one plug??? Were they counterfeit?😮 I would have also presoak #8 cylinder directly with some carbon cleaner while waiting on the parts delivery That scope is a great tool while waiting for the parts to see that carbon buildup on #8😅
I used to own a 97 E350 with 5.4 that ran great, then in 2010 I bought a 2005 F-150, with a 5.4 that shot the #4 sparkplug out with most of the threads, so on of the "kit's" with the extended plug and adaptor that was designed to go in with larger thread, I'm sure you have seen it, and did not work. That kind of soured me on FoMoCo double or single overhead cam engines. Now only Ford I have is a 41 Tudor. As some one who knows, what do you think is best truck/engine combo? Great Channel anyways, thanks for the light entertainment.

How dare you bring common sense into this video. Sad a tech doesn’t even know how to use a system they are trying to sell.
@@CodycoWebFeel free to upload videos demonstrating your vast technical prowess across a variety of vehicles
Yea but you have to be sad to read the manual.
I love these hour long videos. Just have to be sure to charge up the phone before starting the video.
Yup, I just charged mine, finished watching the video after this and switched this one and I'm at 60% already.

Rainman, you should’ve bore scoped #8 piston again to show how well the cleaner worked, or didn’t work. Maybe next time. 😎
So as far as we know the customer paid for the so called carbon removal and it did nothing. There is a good reason to check the plug resistance.
It’s raining here for few more days in South Florida please keep up the long videos 😎 I’m retired but not old enough to watch wheel of Fortune yet

For sure. @@ronlind1757
Cases like that his, I ask for the old parts back 😅
The only thing that I didn't like about this repair and it wasn't with you Ray, BUT THE CUSTOMER AND THE FUEL LEVEL ON THAT GAGE!!!!
Sometime, it would be nice to have you show the cylinders with the bore scope prior to the cleaning procedure, and after, just to see any differences.
I agree and stated the same thing. I have seen the process a number of years ago before and after with no difference
One thing ive learned from my tuner, is if your hands get greasy/nasty, wipe it on the white of a plug and easily check it for cracks.
Ohne Ray wäre UA-cam nur noch die Hälfte Wert er ist einfach der Beste 😊
Ja wohl!

Question....when you use the magic juice to break loose the carbon deposits don't they go down stream and plug up the catalytic converter?
Ray better be glad he fixed which cylinder was #8. I was about to REEEEEEEEE😂😂😂
Would have been interesting to see the top of the piston again after treatment.
have you ever pulled the plugs out on just 1 cylinder on either side , after the cleaning procedure ? just curious

Lovely maintenance repair and great video Ray 😊👍
look at the top of the plug. most fords have the tops painted. usually white or an odd sorta green from the factory.
I've never seen a spark plug split the length of the porcelain, great video, educational, something to look for now.
Nice video ray!!! Thanks
Good job! Wish you were in my neighborhood ( indiana).
Run 2 Platinum Fuel Svc through that bad boy. I flipped a 18 XLT 5.0….Soooo much smoother after about a week. Did exactly what it was supposed to do.
If it's a Coyote, it must be an ACME. Watch out for fake tunnels.

RE: Coils, "just because they're new, don't mean they're good'"

So with lizard lotion do you think chameleon creme would work or pelican paste ?
Since they're prone to breaking, are those red locking tabs on the plugs sold separately as a replacement part?
You don't need them. They are just a way to double latch the connection.
Awesome work
