How to Replace Spark Plugs on a Toyota Sequoia and Toyota Tundra 4.7L

[@joedesalme8096]

Thanks for making this video, extremely helpful! I appreciate the fact you did all eight cylinders it gave me a good idea of what to expect when I installed new plugs on my 4.7L Tundra engine, it went flawlessly.

[@menavaughn2541]

I am a single female and we get taken advantaged of all the time. This seems relatively easy to do. Thank you for this video and your easy to follow instructions. I am heading out to purchase the parts and confident I can change out my own spark plugs myself. Again, thank you!

I was able to replace the spark plugs on my 2002 Toyota Sequoia using your video. Thank you so much!

[@Freedomwarriors0]

What happened to the seqoui ?

[@assertive415]

I appreciate this video brother, I have not switched my plugs in 3 yrs for my 02 sequoia yet, you really helped me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jtltet]

I appreciate you showing the whole process even if it was repetitive. As an inexperienced person like myself it helps to see the whole process. I do have one question and it's probably a dumb question. Does it matter in what order you replace the spark plugs?

[@joedesalme8096]

I agree! No, it doesn't matter what order you replace each plug.

[@anthonyenriquez8950]

Thanks for a great video! Well done! Now i could do my own spark plug replacement!

[@telecasterman18]

Hey brother, thanks for the quick and easy to watch video on how to do this. I like that you used anti-seize, well at least on one of them 😂😂😂.

[@initiald22]

Never use antisieze on spark plugs. I learned my lesson the hard way. I broke a spark plug in my Honda Civic a few years back, I had no choice but to replace the engine.

[@backyardchevy328]

Yea, antiseize can be bad if u overtighten the plug, that's why i mention why i dont like torqueing the bolts when i use antiseize

[@bripro68]

Thanks for another great video on the Sequoia. I hope your channel does well. Being that the plugs weren’t too bad looking did you notice any gains from changing them at that point? It just seems at the price point and work involved even if they’re minimal it’s worth it.

[@backyardchevy328]

The biggest improvement was actually probably from the pcv valve, i changed at the same time..it had a couple issues and it ended up running much better

[@bripro68]

@@backyardchevy328 Thanks for that information. One question, does the PCV valve require a crush washer? I was online looking at a few of them and none of them come with one. If it does need one do you know the size offhand?

I have a '05 sequoia and I purchased Denso Iridium TJ and they say pre-set they are pre-set but they are in the box at .35 however the manual states they should be but .44. Should i set as prescribed in the manual are see what they are individually set as i replace and install? BTW, the video is exceptional and easy to follow comprehend and understand.

Are the heads aluminum? do you need to do this with a cold engine to keep from stripping the threads?

[@bryanbocanegra2968]

What’s the gap size you did on the new spark plugs ?

[@sieve5]

New plugs don't need to be gapped, checking it though is a good idea. Plug gap for a 2001-2004 models is .032 if using non "Power" Iridium plugs, .044 for Iridium "Power", and .040 for Iridium Twin Tip. For all 2005+ models it is .044 for Iridium Long Life and .040 for Iridium Twin Tip. There is a general consensus that you don't gap Iridium Plugs as they come pregapped.

[@TheHouseofChameleons]

Can you tell the difference between the iridium and the oem platinum ?

[@CAgenius]

AC delco double platinum on a 2006 2WD 4.7 gapped @.032 also?

[@kamk1273]

Nice video man! Thanks for the help!

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂 So happy to be able to help

[@bripro68]

One more question please. Would you say what you are using here is the best option for plugs for a 2004 Sequoia? I’m only asking to see if it’s what you had on hand or if you specifically got them for this job. Thanks again and love your channel

[@backyardchevy328]

I think its the best option for the truck...either ngk iridiums(laser iridiums are slightly better but a lil more expensive too) or denso iridiums would be what id go with

[@wilpresswil]

bit of debris , dirt down in the hole where the plug goes. A bit of grunge stuck below the spark plug hole, down where the coil goes. Too hard to fish it out. I figure its ok to leave it there. because the dirt is not actually going into the engine, not going into the spark plug threaded hole area. , On my 2002 . 4.7 l, sr5 Tundra. my plug is NGK # 6418 Iridium Spark Plugs BKR6EIX . Some folks say to gap it to .044. So that is my gap selection. Other people say I am gapping wrong span spec.

[@paulapril]

Do you think Toyota used anti seize on the plugs when they built the engine? Answer: No. Denso and NGK spark plugs come with a nickel plate sacrificial coding negating the need for anti seize.

[@tinytimm5697]

Yea on my factory new 2000 4.7L V8 Toyota Tundra the first time I replaced my plugs I did not have to use a ratchet to unscrew them , just a spark plug socket and a extension and unscrewed them by hand. (HENCE NO NEED FOR ANTI-SEIZE). The crush washers were not even crushed. I put 45,000 miles on the engine and I'm surprised it ran right. I installed new factory OEM DENSO spark plugs put a small dab of aluminum Permatex anti-seize on each plug then torqued them to 15 ft. lbs. Toyota specs were 13-22 ft. lbs. but DENSO specs were 15-22 ft. lbs. and they made the plug so they should know. I spoke to a engineer from Denso who designs the spark plugs and he says that using anti-seize is a good thing but it will increase the torque by 20% to 30%. The Denso safe torque spec range for OEM Denso plug #K20R-U is 15-22 ft. lbs. so even with anti-seize it is still in the torque specs of the factory and the plug manufacturer. So don't believe everything you hear opinions are like belly buttons everybody has one. As for me I have used anti-seize for the last 40 years on plugs and never had a problem. Just torque the plugs to the lower end of the suggested specs. and you will never have to worry about over torque even with anti-seize.

[@paulapril]

@@tinytimm5697 Thanks for the essay. I didn't hear this from some customer service agent at Denso pretending to be an engineer. I am the engineer. Denso and the equivalent plugs from Toyota have a sacrificial nickel coating that prevents them from seizing in the head. Denso's own website says anti seize is not necessary. Moreover, Toyota did not use anti seize when they assembled the engine. Therefore anti seize is unnecessary.
