  • In this video I change out my spark plugs on my Porsche 911 991.1. This covers all non -turbo 911’s from 2012 to 2016. You might be able to apply this to newer and older model 911’s. This wasn’t bad doing it myself with the correct tools. It will save you thousands on the 40,000-mile service.

    Great video but a tip from many years as a pro. DO NOT USE AIR TOOLS TO START THREADS. Always hand start any screw, bolt or spark plug. If you cross thread using an air tool, it can be pricey to sort out.

      Very true, must always start spark plugs by hand first, even with those long extensions, you would feel whether the plug is threading correctly or not.

    I’d NEVER START the spark plug with a air tool or ratchet. If you cross thread that it’s huge money. Start it by using your fingers and once you’re confident its started and threaded correctly THEN use your tools

    Nice Video BUT..........ALWAYS begin threading spark plugs with your fingers, holding the extension and socket. The video should be edited or titles warning the uninformed of the proper procedure. A stripped spark plug hole will require an engine out head removal and repair costing thousands. NEVER USE AIR TOOLS TO START SPARK PLUGS.

    • @how2togo
      @how2togo  Год назад

      Yes I agree but my air tool has very little torque and I did start it by hand. Maybe that didn't show in the video.

  • @rodsilva80

      I'm a retired A&P mechanic and we always use graphite anti-seize on spark plug threads. And hand tighten it first 2-3 turns to avoid possible cross threading.

      Similar but unrelated. My BMW manual says to add light coat of copper antisense to spark plugs and tighten to 18ft lbs. i.e., read or obtain a copy of the factory manual.

    You are making things harder on yourself by using those long extensions. Use only as long as you need to keep the extension flex to a minimum. NEVER EVER start spark plugs with power tools….you will hate yourself if you cross thread them….
