Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Be sure to check out the other videos on our channel for the Kia 1.8L - ruclips.net/p/PLFnK0z3T00fXER876etdejWnFQTc4l11-&si=RKpRBnRX2M29al0P Cheers!
Great vide. However, most manufacturers recommend NOT using antiseize on spark plugs. It can change torque values by as much as 20%, resulting in over torquing.
Thanks for the comments, we are familiar with the famous NGK website that makes those claims. However, if you have ever had to remove broken, stripped or a stuck spark plug from a cylinder head, you will appreciate the guy before you who used anti-seize. We have been using it for 40+ years on every single spark plug we have ever put in. We have never had any issues with it and never had a stuck or stripped plug in any vehicle that had anti-seize used. At the end of the day you decide what works best for your application and do it that way. Cheers!
Great video. Which size Milwaukee tool are you using? Looks like it makes the job much easier, and I'm gonna need all the ease I can get with trying to do this myself
Thanks for the comments, we are using the 3/8" right angle Milwaukee 2567-20 ratchet. It definitely makes things a lot easier and more efficient. Good luck on your Kia project, let us know how it goes. Cheers!
Just a question my car just broke down I kind of want to save money and do it on my own but all these tools seem expensive to buy . Would it be more economical to just give it to the shop if im only gonna do this once
Thanks for the questions, where are you located? In the US we have stores like Harbor Freight where you can purchase basic tools for little money. While they may not be the best tools out there, they are more than capable for an individual working on cars at home. You should be able to get all the basic tools you need for common projects for less than $150-$200. Good luck on your search, let us know what you find. Cheers!
Which cylinder is 4th one? All the way to the left or all the way to the right? I have a bad coil pack and need to replace the 4th cylinder pack. Please help thanks
Thanks for the question David, the 4th cylinder is the farthest to the right when standing in front of the car looking at the engine. Left to Right it's 1,2,3,4 Good luck on your Kia project. Cheers!
Sorry GT, we just posted the Kia part number in the description. We will add the NGK info so others may find it helpful. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!
Thanks for the question, you will need to see if there are any error codes present. That will help identify what issues you may be having. You might be having an issue with the coil on that cylinder instead of the spark plug itself. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments Nicholas, the plugs come pre-gapped from the factory since they are vehicle specific. If you would like to check them the recommended gap for the 2016 Kia Forte 1.8L is Gap 1.0 ~ 1.1 (0.0394 ~ 0.0433). Good luck with your Kia project, Cheers!
Thanks for the question, all factory plugs come pre-gapped. If you would like to verify the Gap on the 1.8/2.0L Kia/Hyundai engines it is 0.0394" - 0.0433" www.kifomanual.com/spark_plug_specification-334.html Cheers!

Thanks for this video. I'm curious, is this a automatic or manual stick shift version?
Hey GT, it's an auto like most cars here in the states. Cheers!

Kind of wish you put NGK Laser Iridium Plug Number SILZKR7B11 Spark Plug into the description as the spark plug.

What if i replace the spark plug and cylinder that backfired and my car is still shaking?
Thanks for the question, you will need to see if there are any error codes present. That will help identify what issues you may be having. You might be having an issue with the coil on that cylinder instead of the spark plug itself.

So this isnt for a 2018 kis forte?
Thanks for the question, this is the same process for the 2018 Kia Forte.
Cheers!

Hey sorry but i think the coil packs are held down by m6 bolts no 10mm like you said 😅
Thanks for the comments, appreciate the feedback. They might be M6 diameter bolts but we were referring to the socket needed to remove them.
Cheers!
It's most definitely a 10mm just like the video said my guy
What is the spark plug gap spec?
Just did our 2017 Kia forte plugs, and yes they are size 10 mm socket.
You said 2012 to 2016 but you have 2018 in the the title 😒that’s a bit misleading don’t you think?
Apologies for the confusion Tom, we misspoke in the video and fixed it in the Title/Description. Good luck on your Kia project, Cheers!
