I walk through the things you need and each step for properly replacing the spark plugs and include a few tips and tricks I learned along the way. Plan for at least two hours of time to carefully replace these and make sure you have everything you need prior to starting. Its recommended to change your spark plugs at 100,000 miles I did this right before I rolled over 100,000 hard miles, it wouldn't hurt to change them sooner. We did notice a return of power and improvement in gas mileage once replaced. I was recently informed to NOT use Anti-Seize compound with NGK spark plugs due to the coating already on the threads. If you do wish to still apply Anti-Seize to the threads you need to reduce the torque by 20%. Torque Spec is 127 inch/pounds or 10.5 foot/pounds for 5.0L V8 #diy #automobile #commissionsearned Follow us on Instagram - @ozarkfloating Follow our other YouTube Channel - @larisonlifestyle If you have a product you would like for me to review, please reach out.
