You forgot to use anti-seize compound on the spark plug threads. Anytime you have dissimilar metals in contact with each other you should use the compound on the threads so the next time you change the plugs they come out without problems.
these are NGK spark plugs, they do not require anti-seize compound as NGK says, and I never had any problems to take them out. By the way I always use anti-seize with Densos
Great job! Are gen 2's 1.5L? I ask because PCV is in the back. If you're going thru all the trouble, just replace it. Plugs are nicely done! Good pointer on not having to remove cowl. Like that u used silicone on coils. 👍✊🖖🇺🇸 I have a gen4 & am interested in ALL prius videos. 😉 PS. I like the music!
Did you feel the engine running any differently after cleaning the PCV valve? I'm loathe to spend £60 for a new one in my 180k mile Mk2 Prius so hoping such a clean will be the free option.
changing the spark plugs definitely made engine run better, but I did pcv cleaning just in case, to see if it was clogged, as you see it was not too dirty
@@Petruccio1881 I just wire brushed the Iridiums in mine but it didn't seem to do much, but I also fitted 17" wheels about same time so that's slowed me down a little 😄 Partsouq sell those PCV valves for a LOT less than stealerships so I might try a new one if a clean doesn't make her feel a little smoother or more efficient 🤔

How often should you replace/clean the PCV valve? Thanks.

@@Petruccio1881 that's pretty hilarious that you chose a Scotty Kilmer video since he hates the Prius 😂

Good video but had to slow it down to .50x to follow along. No need to be The Flash
can you show in normal speed in stead of fast forward speed?
