Just curious. Is your civic still running good?

[@angelgarcias7328]

Got 1997 honda civic ex got the number spart plug like you much cost the orijinal for the car can buy it thank you video where got it

[@Vega-nn4gn]

Do you know the wire order ex(1,2,3,4) on the distributor I gotta put new wires but my old ones are off already

[@tomchien7692]

Why is spark plug replacement recommended at 30 k mi / 2 yr. for 1996-2000 Honda Civics by the owners manual? I thought most vehicles' spark replacement is recommended at 100-120 k mi. Is it because the manual is assuming factory plugs that may be copper (vs. iridium)? Do these vehicles run hotter / dirtier or something?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes, copper is different from iridium tips, so it wears out quicker. These vehicles equipped with copper as oem. Newer models are iridium plugs.

[@tomchien7692]

@@NutzAboutBolts Thx! So, if replaced them with iridium plugs, should I be safe to use them for closer to 100 k mi, assuming I don't notice any bad spark plug symptoms in the meantime?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

@@tomchien7692 I’d stick with copper plugs. It’s runs better for your car since it’s oem.

[@jordynperez101]

is that all you need to do for a tune up i just got an oil change and passed inspection. anyone know?

[@antonyfarfan6037]

greg Perez i know this is late but you should be good bro maybe replace or clean your air filter or check your timing you're fine tho

[@AquaticTux]

I'd say pull your evap out, ofc only if you don't have to pass an emissions test

[@dannymartinez4177]

Hello, I have the stock spark plugs about 32k miles on it and wires too how often should i change them?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

60k miles you should change it because its copper plugs, I would just change it since its been a long time.

[@TheGodFactory]

Instead of dielectric grease can you use battery terminal protection sprat?

[@tsurisabkov3391]

Is there any chance of damaging the cylinders or the engine if I change my spark plugs without using the anti-size and the silicone paste?

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

I have never used either and my Civic is 27yrs old.

[@hackon5105]

which spark plugs you"ve used in this video ?? and i have honda city 2001 make so i just want to change my spark plugs and i am really much confused in this case that which one should i go for NGK or DENSO or BOSCH ? suggest me the best spark plugs for honda city 2001

[@NutzAboutBolts]

NGK or Denso, they're OEM.

Do u know where I can purchase the stickers that are under your hood ?

Just watched your video what gap size did you use on the spark plugs? Please let me know.. I bought ngk also and they were gapped at .035 shouldn't they be at .040?

what if the connecter did break inside ? how can i get it out

[@Ace-44]

I just took tried to take my spark plug wire off and the top part disconnected from the long part thats connected to spark plug. Does that happen sometimes or do I have a problem?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

It happens over time since it’s made out of rubber. When we change the spark plugs, we recommend changing out the wires out as well. It’s recommended to change out spark plugs, wires and plugs if your vehicle has a distributor.

[@Ace-44]

@@NutzAboutBolts Oh ok thanks for the quick reply man! Really appreciate it. It scared me so I put the the top part back on and closed the hood lol. I'll go back at it when I calm down lol.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

@@Ace-44 lol you might need a needle nose plier to pull the tube out if it’s stuck on the spark plug

[@Ace-44]

@@NutzAboutBolts I finally did this job thanks so much for your video! I torqued it down to 18 ft lbs instead of 14. I went by the numbers on the box. You think I should back them out and do it to 14 or is 18 ok?

[@losjr4571]

How can I tell when the spark plugs are tight enough?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

los jr use a torque wrench, you can also feel the washer being crushed into the aluminum head.

[@thimble288]

The ngk box has a little tightening guide on it. You can't lose!

[@christianmartindale9973]

What happens if you do break it off cause I tried to replace them with the wires and it's just not starting now. Is it something to do with the distributer

[@honsokuinkgoods6867]

Get new spark plugs

[@AkinaGod]

I am having a problem pulling the plugs. I have the correct size for the plugs, but my sockets don't fit. None of them. There is an extra little metal sleeve inside the spark plug hole that prevents me from putting in the socket. Anyone know why or how to fix this? I can't pull the sleeve out or anything. Also tried a 14mm, a 16mm, and now I'm looking for a thin wall socket, but am having an issue locating one locally.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

You can use a 5/8 socket without the sleeve to break it loose, then use the one with the sleeve to pull the spark plug out

[@charlesbrown205]

I SECOND THAT! WTH? My Craftsman spark plug sockets are too fat to fit. I had to buy a Snap-On socket that cost more than my car is worth, but it FITS. The excellent dude in the video is using Snap-On tools and skilz. Thanks NutzAboutBolts - Subscribed.

[@adamplus2508]

He didn't even mark the spark plug wires and number them just to avoid confusion. Even if he knows it's still a good habit to get into especially if you're showing someone else

[@Sergiovsousa]

My Civic as each cable numbered 1 to 4, so I guess the same happens to every factory Civic.

[@frankenelimtangco2400]

Is it okay to use a 1/2 inch drive torque wrench on replacing a spark plug with proper setting? Or i must buy a 3/8 inch drive or other torque wrench?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

The 1/2 torque wrench has too much torque. Spark plugs are 14 ft lbs of torque so a 3/8 torque wrench is good for it.

[@frankenelimtangco2400]

NutzAboutBolts thank you sir!

[@zeod89]

How do you know when they’re tight enough if you don’t have a torque wrench? When they’re snuggly tight or? Lmk man thanks

[@pushhrodd01]

Get an extension bro and put the plug in and then hand tighten it with the extension as hard as you can win the hand bc your hand doesent out out much torque. Then get a wrench and only go 1/4 of a turn!!! Remember torque wrenches are cheap and new heads are not

[@zeod89]

TimeGhosts thanks for the input man I changed them for the first time Saturday, I did basically what you said, tightened them as by hand till I felt the resistance of them sitting flush then I did a 2/3 turn as the recommendation on the box ran it for 2 hrs that day and went to work this morning so I hope I’m good.

[@randomrandy3059]

What if you don’t have any lube or silicone paste

[@randomrandy3059]

[@nathanbeckom912]

You’re suppose to do them one by one because if you put the wrong hose on a spark plug the car runs different, saying because the distributor powers those hoses

[@thimble288]

Almost impossible with the d series wires, they're all cut to length

[@DELREYGUY]

Per NGK. Never use anti-seize on the plug threads. NGK Plugs already have a factory coating to prevent it. You can make it actually seize with that extra coating. FYI

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Some has them, some I don’t see they have them, never heard of extra coating causing seizing. Nothing a breaker bar can’t remove. 👍🏼

[@vernrambo]

Do you still have this Civic?

[@americanroadwarrior]

I'm looking into the two 3M products shown and they seem to be the same product in two different containers. Am I trippin'?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

nope, there are 2 different 3M product. One is Anti-seize for the spark plug threads, and the other is a silicone paste for the ignition coil tip where you insert into the spark plug.

[@americanroadwarrior]

What threw me off is that they both come up on ebay as "3M 8946". I can see by the labels you are correct. Great video, Thanks

[@americanroadwarrior]

So as I usually do, I cheaped out by spending $5.68 on an "AGS SPARK PLUG ANTI-SEIZE Grease Lubricant Stick" and paid $4.99 for 3 "AGS High Energy Dielectric Silicone Grease/Lockout Moisture" packets. Thank you NutzAboutBolts, I didn't even know these things existed.

Great video but you need to gap all plugs except perma gap plug

[@BamaChad-W4CHD]

You buy pregapped plugs. Most people would never buy plugs that need to be gapped. We aren't talking about high performance engines here. Just standard everyday cars should always have pregapped plugs. Of course you always check each plug and make sure the gap is correct though.

[@U812GREEN]

@@BamaChad-W4CHD Isn't that what I said?

[@BamaChad-W4CHD]

@@U812GREEN it looks like by you saying"you need to gap all plugs" that you are saying you need to gap plugs yourself when they are already gapped off the shelf. My bad if it isn't what you tried to say.

[@U812GREEN]

@@BamaChad-W4CHD If your going to check them just gap them. Can't trust because they are new, I've replaced many faulty new parts is all I'm saying, plus my original comment was a year ago. Not trying to be a dick

@@U812GREEN gotcha man. Sorry if I seemed to be a prick as well. We both said the same thing. You are very right. Always got to check for sure. Too many cheap things sold with very poor quality control

[@tylerclark5086]

You should be telling people to make sure they label or take a picture of the wires beforehand. Many folks will get confused.

[@thimble288]

These wires are the exact length to reach their respective holes, but on other cars yes

[@Kushalien51_nv]

Or 1 by 1

[@King_Dan_Man]

Is the lube optional?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

it is, but its in your best interest to lube it for future removal or else it might rust and be hard to remove the next time because there's no lube.

[@pvtolentino]

What kind of lube again to buy and where exactly in thr spark plug to put it?
