Dude I am SO HAPPY I found your video. I have an 02 Honda cbr600 F4i and sadly had a spark plug loosen and blow itself out. I bought a used engine and did an engine swap so I could keep stunting. Now FOR YEARS I've debated on A.) buying a new head and all the glorious labor associated w/ this choice, B.) Splitting the head from the case and helicoil from the underside up, or C.) Doing exactly what you did here, but using a 12mm spark plug and grinding down the sides of the 12mm spark plug nut to fit a 10mm spark plug socket bc a 12mm spark plug socket will NOT fit in the spark plug well. Thank you for finding out about that KTM plug having the exact specs needed when this repair has been performed. I am so glad I didnt make any impulsive decisions. I cant wait to get my OG cherry virgin engine finally reunited w its OG frame. THANK YOU BRO! Video 10/10 Tool Fabing 11/10
I have a yellow 03 cbr600rr with the same cylinder spark plug I'm also assuming it took the threads out haven't got to it yet plug the ignition coil is popped out and when pushed in and turned on it pops out
😁if i was going to keep and ride this without a doubt I would definitely do that, Downside it will be auctioned off like most other builds and I assume the new owner may not be as awesome as us!
I finally started working on the bike the other week. I'm at the part where you drop the engine but I can't find a castle socket. What size socket was it?
So I noticed the heat rating on the new spark plug is one lower than the oem Honda spark plug . Will this cause a problem or is ot close enough it will be fine

Tool Fabing 11/10
I would just like to thank you!! I just did this to my bike. Work like a charm
Thanks for the video bro I got bike running the other week
I’m about to do it the same you you did, Thanks man I was considering just selling the bike if I was forced to remove the entire engine
I have a yellow 03 cbr600rr with the same cylinder spark plug I'm also assuming it took the threads out haven't got to it yet plug the ignition coil is popped out and when pushed in and turned on it pops out
So far the new owner has put a lot of miles without a hiccup yet, so if that is indeed your problem it is a good fix
I liked the “need a tool, make a tool approach”. Sadly whilst I’m pretty handy, welding is not in my repertoire
Do you have a link for the frame bolt tool?
Hey man where do you live can you help me do this? I’m terrified
Any tips on how to get the middle frame bolt hole to be aligned?
they all must be loose to get them in then tighten last.
@@EngineInformant you mean also the last bold on the bottom? It turns but doesn't un loosen
I need the number in the spark plug
I did everything like in this video and when i startes the bike it started making ticking noise and it don’t go away even when its hot help please
Leave it yellow and put Chiquita Banana decals on it. lol
😁if i was going to keep and ride this without a doubt I would definitely do that, Downside it will be auctioned off like most other builds and I assume the new owner may not be as awesome as us!
What plug did you get? I’m dealing with the same situation
available in the listing description above thanks
Engine ain't going up is taking the frame with it. Any tips? I am lifting it at the same spot.
its most likely catching around the rear shock area where the frame goes side to side
@@EngineInformant how did you get it unstuck?
loosen lower engine mounts or you can shave the top, remember it came out so it has to go back
I finally started working on the bike the other week. I'm at the part where you drop the engine but I can't find a castle socket. What size socket was it?
sorry I do not remember
Did you change the otherp plugs?
no one plug only though if your feeling lucky all 4 could be done
@@EngineInformant was removing the airbox necessary?
Also was removing the front fairing necessary?
@@EngineInformant did you put lock tight on the frame bolt?
@@dankoakovic9623 you should lock tite and important bolt
What plug number did you use
listed in description below
I have exactly the same in my bike I don't want to use m14 sparkplug
there is a link for everything in the description
So I noticed the heat rating on the new spark plug is one lower than the oem Honda spark plug . Will this cause a problem or is ot close enough it will be fine
it has been good for 1200 miles
