996 PORSCHE 911 IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT: Easy DIY plus tools to make it easier!

[@miketdavies]

Thanks man! Was looking for a 996.2 vid, lots of 3.4 vids without the variocam solenoids in the way. What did you do for your additional required heat shield clearance? Old coil bolts and washers?

[@LowBoostFilms]

Nothing, there was still enough room for me.

[@paulzbarcea]

Awesome video, super clear and helpful. I'm using jacks, so I had to take the rear tires and mufflers off to have enough room to work. Thanks for the content, happy driving!

[@LowBoostFilms]

Thanks. I tried my best!

[@nyccorvette]

Not too bad. Those quick jacks are nice!

[@LowBoostFilms]

They’re worth their weight in gold haha

[@bwhalen77]

just did this last week. couldnt imagine doing this with the mufflers on. although i didn't have the special spark plug tool... and it was a pain with standard 5/16 spark plug socket, extensions and universal joints... also, you can use a 12pt 8mm socket/ratcheting wrench for the etorx. the torque spec is 7 i think... so dont over do it.

[@LowBoostFilms]

The spark plug tool made all the difference

Did you know there is spark plug tubes that get replaced too in these? Any reason you didn’t replace those too?

[@LowBoostFilms]

I did not know that, and it seemed to only be the coil packs that had the problem.

@@LowBoostFilms they can break and fall into the engine sometimes it seems - I’m scared to change them. But if you don’t change the tubes; they can leak and oil can drip down onto the plugs, apparently.
