Another quality video. You do a great job not only explaining "how to" but why and when. We have whole generations who want to learn that never had a pop or grandfather teach them the basics, and you're doing a great job filling the gaps. Nice work. Your friend in San Diego.
Appreciate that Greg, 🍺 cheers
Danny, you are killing it with this content. Can't wait to see what's next.
Appreciate you, remo
Extremely clear concise information.
Glad it was helpful!, appreciate your comment
Thanks again!
Changed the plugs today. Your video made it go easy. Just ordered coils, since the Launch scan tool (found on one of your other helpful videos) still indicates misfires on three cylinders.
Glad it helped, appreciate your comment
Thanks Danny! Thank you for adding more details on the tools you used. Going to utilize your breakaway technique of slight tighten before loosening old plugs too, sounds great. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Danny! Thanks for another interesting and informative video! Great camera angles, as usual and great editing! I have to hurry though, because it’s time to take my 2007 Element SC apart again! Ha ha… Just kidding! All the best from Florida!
Appreciate your kindness, great to hear from you once again
Per NGK website
NGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without lubrication or anti-seize.
Anti-seize can act as a lubricant, altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage and/or metal shell stretch. Thread breakage can sometimes involve removing the cylinder head for repair. Metal shell stretch changes the heat rating of the spark plug and can result in serious engine damage caused by pre-ignition. Do not use anti-seize or lubricant on NGK spark plugs. It is completely unnecessary and can be detrimental.
Wow great info, thank for posting
@@dannysdiygarage sure thing - I over torqued mine once and called them and they said Never use Anti seize. who knew....
Wow! Good to know! Thanks!
The weird thing is the Honda service manual for these 2008-2012 Hondas says to use Anti seize on the plugs when installing.
Honda says use anti seize, but the plug manufacturer NGK says never use it.
Contradicting information, super helpful 😅
@@vandiyplant921 Weird. I am going with NGK
That’s correct
Danny never disappoint
Appreciate your support
Thank you so much for help full video
Most welcome, thank you for watching
use the coil to drop the plug down
Thanks Danny, it’s great info and it’s shot really clearly. Do you still have any of your rear hatch latch kits for sale?
Yes, they are still for sale at this time
Hi Danny, which penetrating lube do you recommend to use on the plugs if they are sticking?
Hi Danny, the link of spark plug is the same as the anti-sieze link
I’ll fix it,thanks I fixed it
Hey danny and thank you for the good videos. Wanted to ask you if there is any way to check intactness of a ignition coil , can a weak set of coil can cause a bad performance? Thank you
Coils usually either work or they don’t, a bad coil will cause an intermittent misfire or a completely dead cylinder, usually that’s the norm
@@dannysdiygarage
So in most cases the ignition coil will probably fail to my understanding?
But in your opinion its not something that can get wear and not work well?
Hi Danny, what’s the diameter of the rubber hose?
almost any size will work, but mine is a 3/16 or 5mm piece of vacuum hose, I like having this size around do to its versatility, here is a link to the product amzn.to/3u9WQll
Pristine engine compartment.
