I’ve never had any issues whatsoever with any of their parts. I’ve been using that brand exclusively since 2009 and it’s never failed me once. If they happen to fail, they have a lifetime no questions asked warranty. It’s Dorman you want to watch out for. I won’t touch those with a 20 foot pole.
I’m glad you realize that. But that was the reason why I didn’t recognize a brand because I don’t install bullshit parts. No professionals use that shit.
Very true. But once I tested that cylinder and it was dead, no reason to test any other other ones. Engine only here at Harris auto considering the miles that’s on there
@@HalferLandPerformance If the battery is good it won't matter. Also a ford scan tool can do a compression test. you can also do a relative with its neighbor, even with plugs
Guess it wasn’t that spark plug. These aren’t any high-performance high compression engines it does not care what spark plugs in there as long as the gap is good it will run.
Depends on engines. I've seen some very picky engines. The plug needs to fire inside the cylinder under pressure. Oftentimes, it will fire fine outside the cylinder but struggle under load
I’ll take the #6 coil and move it to #5, then take the plug and move it to #4 and see where the skip moves. If it stays on #6, you know it’s not ignition.
AC Delco makes parts for more than just GM vehicles. I have had a AC Delco coolant hose on my VW GTI for over 2 years now. Im not talking about some generic hose either, molded same as the factory one with the quick connects on the end and everything. Part number 27045X
So long as that AC Delco plug is the correct part number interchange to the motorcraft brand, it should be fine. I've even used motorcraft plugs on my Jeep, because it was what was in stock and the engine ran fine. That plug interchanges to many brands of vehicles, 1998-2021 Fords being one, but also specific years for Dodge/Chryslers, Mazda and Land Rover vehicles. Please don't state inaccurate information if you haven't verified the application.
From my 33 years of professional experience, I’ve seen the wrong manufacturer, spark plugs, cause misfires more than once. Matter of fact. Several times. But this conversation is irrelevant, Can I please get some credit? I went straight for the compression test? Was that the right thing to do?
It’s a ford v6 lol I’m sure it’s OHC and you don’t hear any off noise or ticking while it’s running. It’s just low on compression. Could be several reasons why. Bad headgasket, pistons ring failure, bent valve, out of time, etc.
Really question how you don't realize what a duralast looks like. As in any marking that has that Big d shaped like that more than likely a duralast and the only other brand that I can think of offhand that starts with a d is denso but I'm 100% positive that's a duralast coil pack. But you are right though about AC Delco Chevrolet
Sorry. I don’t buy shit parts. Respectfully. And duralast is the bottom of the bottom. That’s why I don’t recognize the brand No true professionals ever buy and install dura last parts.
Squirt the cylinder with oil, if compression goes up it's rings, stays down it's valves
The gray coilpacks are duralast brand aka chinesium garbage

@@goharrisautomotiveyup same here,I no longer install customer supplied parts mainly because of them providing the lowest quality parts 😂
180K is high? For fraud, it certainly is.
And when you do compression test, remove ALL spark plugs.
That's what I was saying, leak down you only remove the cylinder being tested, compression you remove all of them

I have had a bad coil cause a misfire and also cause low compression. The low compression cleared up after 100 miles with a new coil and plug.
I can see that. Cylinders was washed down in your case. But no compression is different.
You can hear the gallop in the motor too .

Yeah. But high mile cars. Do a compression check, saves a lot of extra work. And its the best thing to do.

I agree. But I have had issues in my career with misfires due to wrong manufacturer plugs.

That D on the coils is Duralast brand. So they’re from autozone.
Oh. Trash parts. That’s why I don’t recognize it. I guess kudus to me for not knowing.
Collapsed lifter common problem
This isn't an LS bruh

@@goharrisautomotive fare point sometimes customers bring them in as well to save a dollar
Worn cam lobe from a seized roller lifter ? Valve cover off, measure lift. Seen alot on Hemis
Got a hemi in the shop now. Mis on 5, 120k. Probably going to need cams and lifters.
It seems like you guys get a lot of customers who try to do their own work and fail. At the end they give up and bring it to your shop.
Yes, we see our fair share of that. Or more sadly, another shop attempts to get it right and he cannot.
Cheap and mismatched parts always lead to some kind of a disaster. Just a matter of time...
