    Perfect timing on this video. About to go Stage 2 next week, only 11.5k miles but figured I'd do my plugs for good measure, so happy to see you put up a install video!

    • @WRXGarage
      @WRXGarage  2 года назад

      Definitely a good idea to do your plugs once a year, maybe around every 15k

    THANK YOU for showing the old plugs! Just did my 2018's plugs after 80k kilometers and #2 was the only one with oil on the threads. Was seriously wondering if I had a valve-stem seal leaking, but then I saw this and was glad to hear how minimal / common this is on fa20 DIT'S

      As long as it doesn't get worse over time or pool up in the socket, it's fine!

    Nice Kevin. Just did this on my WRX with 40K on the clock. Everything was dry and the color of the electrodes were nice and tan. Now just need that custom tune for Stage 2! Make sure you reset your auto window up/down for the front windows by holding switch momentarily (due to the battery disconnect).

      Yes they are! I have a gap measurement tool that I use to check the tolerance on each with just to be sure though

  • @bradgreen987
    @bradgreen987 7 месяцев назад

    As i just had done for $540, you will have to replace the valve cover gaskets( especially the spark plug tubes) within 60,000 or you'll get eventual misfires

    What battery are you running? I've been thinking about swapping mine out before it goes 🤔

    • @WRXGarage
      @WRXGarage  2 года назад +1

      Optima redtop! It is the best battery on the market imo. Had charging and starting issues with OEM for a while, replaced it with the redtop and haven't had a single failure to start in 2-3 years

    I’m new to doing my own maintenance and read about gapping spark plugs. is that needed for these out of the box?

    • @WRXGarage
      @WRXGarage  Год назад

      Not needed, no. But measuring and double checking the gaps is always a good idea

    • @arrik22
      @arrik22 Год назад

      thanks for the fast response. I’m in the middle of trying to put the driver side ones back in and I can’t get the torque wrench in with any various extension I try. It was a time lapse but it doesn’t look like you used one after trying various extensions yourself?

    • @WRXGarage
      @WRXGarage  Год назад +2

      The torque spec is like, 15 ft lb if I remember correctly, I just ended up tightening by hand based on feel. You just want to make sure the crush washers flatten, which you can usually feel

    crazy how you say not to over torque and then set your torque wrench above whats needed, if the wrench is not calibrated and its a make or break item, set it below not above.

    • @WRXGarage
      @WRXGarage  10 месяцев назад +1

      I was using multiple adapters which would reduce the amount of torque received by the threads themselves. I set it a little high to compensate for the torque losses.
