Came back from the dealership today and they wanted $589 to replace the spark plugs. Thankfully Brian always comes through with the tutorials! Great video as always.

@javelinadad 2 года назад

An amazing video from the point of view that many folks might think a plug change is so fundamental that they have nothing to learn. However, a 3.5 Ecoboost has its own potential gotchas! And this video absolutely addresses every single one of them! Not to mention the excellent lighting and clear camera views.

@whiplash9823 2 года назад

Great video as always, Brian! For those wondering about the necessity of the grease on the boots: an absolute must with the amount of mileage between changes. My dealer did my first plug change (2012 F-150 3.5L eco, 260,00km) and used no grease. I did the next change and the boots stuck to the plugs and broke off on 4 of 6 plugs. Let me tell you how hard it is to get those broken boots off of seated plugs. Save the headache, use the grease! I wish Brian's methods were standard dealer practice.

@BobSmith-mc7uq 2 года назад

Unfortunately, dealer practices are "get em in, get em out" & most (not all) mechanics do not care about a little extra service, always concerned about beating "flat rate"!

I stopped buying the really expensive plugs that last forever for that reason, I would rather replace them more often and actually be able to get the old ones out, they are also a window to the engines soul so you can see what’s going on in there - back in the day we would have to swap spark plugs yearly

@jdwht2455 Год назад

Another great video to be used with my new 3.5L F150. I too used to have a spark plug torque feel back in the pre emissions days but no more, especially these new engines. These videos are especially helpful since my past two trucks have been a 3V V10 with the fragile OE two piece plugs and a 6.7 diesel that about all I could do was note that there probably was an engine under all that "stuff". One thing I learned with the V10 is that you barely loosen the plugs, put a tiny bit of Motorcraft carb cleaner down the tube to loosen carbon, wiggle the plug back and forth 2-3 times with the socket to stop the squeal then use a wee dab of nickel based anti seize on the ten new ONE piece plug threads. Electrolytic grease has been a no brainer on plug boots even with a distributor ignition for years.

Not throwing any codes, but I hope this resolves this jitter issues when its in a high gear at a lower speed and try to get it to go. But they needed to be changed.

You always clean around and into the spark plug well when the plug is still in then once the plug is out you stick the air wand into the cylinder then blast everything up and out but not before it is in the cylinder. This way the only way is out not in.

@stephenmoxley3004 2 года назад

Great video, Brian. It's refreshing to see someone who still believes in anti-seize lubricant for spark plug threads. I've used it for years and still believe in it. You made your point, when one of the plugs squeaked, as you were removing it. Keep up the great work.

@JoshNewby84 Год назад

I did the plugs on my 150k mile Mustang 5.0 not to long ago, and you'd have thought the Hulk put them in. I had to do the extension cheater bar method on my socket to break em loose, just glad none of them broke. Side note, your customers have some filthy engine bays, lol.

@gclaytony Год назад

Great video and it was exactly what I needed. I was changing the plugs on a 2018 F150/3.5L Ecoboost. The pump plug on the passenger side would not come loose for love nor money and I was afraid of destroying it if I got any rougher. As I looked at thought it became apparent that like the PCV connection on the other side, the pump connection did not interfere with removing the coil or plug. I started out using a torque wrench but there was no way mine would fit in the space above rear plugs and still provide any levarage/movement. So I checked by feel plus torque wrench on the 2nd plug and went by feel for all the remainder. My biggest issue was reaching the rear plugs without putting any weight on the front-end plastic, but I did manage and did not have to remove any of air intake piping either. Thanks again for the great video. As an aside, I suspect supply might be be reason for hte change in sparkplugs to a flat/gasket base. Every other vehicle I've had (non ford) used flat base plugs w/gasket. If Ford and the Ecoboost engine was the only remaining market, it would be a relatively small niche vs. all the rest of the manufacturers combined. If it also cut a step out of the manufacturing process for the heads then it s a win-win change. The downside is that service of the plugs will require a step to insure that the old gasket is retrieved/removed before installing the new plugs.

@RipRoaringGarage 2 года назад

Ive been using antiseize on plugs as well. Its like Ford engineers expect cars to be driven in a vacuum lol. I do add a few ftlbs to the indicated value though, just to compensate for the added lubricity on the threads. The modulars had the issue of plugs being grenaded out, while others would get so stuck they would ruin the heads. Its why on my Vic, I remove the plugs every 50k miles, and probably decreasing that number with age, as its not a daily driver anymore. EDIT: I made a mistake here, that I want to leave up to show just how easy a mistake can be made. The replies under will clarify

@ronenton4037 2 года назад

I thought you decrease torque when using anti-seize or lube

@RipRoaringGarage 2 года назад

@@ronenton4037 Youre right! I always have to double check myself because on the 4.6 in the Crown Vic, they love to pop out, so I torque them down a bit more than factory specs. On other cars, older ones I dont need anti seize (think classic engines, 460s, 390s)

@fredsalter1915 2 года назад

Great point. When you lube threads, you're able to screw it in with more ease and thus have the opportunity to screw in too far, or to strip out the threads...

@JohnDoesGarage Год назад

There is absolutely no reason to ever cross thread anything. I always start everything by hand and run the bolt/nut far enough that there is no way to cross thread it. Oil pan drain plugs are a pet peeve of mine. If you can't run it all the way in by hand, stop and figure out why. And don't get me started on the morons who think they need to tighten drain plugs until they damn near strip. The only real pressure on an oil drain plug is the weight of the oil because the pan just holds the oil. Tighten it so I won't fall out and that's it. Also, I have no idea why someone would bitch about blowing compressed air into a combustion chamber other than to just hear themselves bitch about something. It's not like you can reach pressures higher than that of what it is on a compression stroke. What ill effect exactly do they think will happen? Thanks for another great video.

Question for you I used to have a naturally aspirated engine. Instead of blowing air with a wand. Well each spark plug was removed , I used to turn the engine on for 1 second and then shut it off immediately. And move on to the next spark plug . This blue out all the dirt inside each spark plug compartment. I put many miles in that car and never had a problem. Could I do the same on these EcoBoost engines spark plug compartments?

It's about time. It's only been 30 years since the first model motors and 25 since I first witnessed my first f150 sound like a two cylinder John Deere. I guess a third of a century isn't bad for a company that's been making engines for almost 120. Tapered plug in an aluminium head, dumb.

Wonder if the aftermarket will make them indexed? Certainly the eBay and Amazon fakes won’t.

+++ Great and timely video since I just bought a '19 F150 with a 3.5. With only about 42K miles, not ready for plugs yet but ..... Sure a bunch different then my last gasser, an '06 F350 with a 3v V10. That 6.7 between that V10 and this truck made me forget how much fun(?) plug changes on newer vehicles can be since my paid mechanic days ended about 1990. Gotta get another socket similar to yours though.

I have a issue with my 09 4.6 mustang it had stock cams it was ticking because a roller follower failed an was grinding into the camshaft an was making the engine tick so I put new stock Ford cams all new lash adjusters an roller rockers an new phasers timing chain guides an I also put a meling high volume oil pump after replacing all that the engine was really quiet for a few miles now I can ever so slightly hear the engine tick now again did I do something wrong? I also put 5w30 oil in it instead of 5w20 it never had a oil pressure problem the engine was pretty clean 98k miles

I see why people travel to Brian to get work done! Alot of mechanics don't use grease or compressed air because they're trying to beat the 'flat rate' and will take every shortcut possible!
