OK, a few tips from a Nissan Mastertech first off always put a little dab of anti-seize on your plug. Because often times aluminum doesn’t like steel and you certainly don’t want to pull the plug out of that which includes some of the cylinder head threads. Also, when you put the cold packs in, make sure you put a dab of dielectric grease on the end of the boot this will help two things one help you get the coal out in case it decides to glue itself to the spark plug and it also helps seal moisture out. Also put a dab of dielectric grease in the connector that goes onto the coal for the same reasons. A big tip on getting these connectors off is to spray them with some rust penetrant, and that will soak in to the seal when you wiggle it around and we are immensely help getting these plastic connectors off which you’re always prone to explode in your hand, take care from Jay Tiger in Thailand

I understand your point about the anti-sieze on the plugs, but then you really have to be careful when you're torquing them down because as you should know, that's going to change your torque specs and you could easily over torque them and strip your head.

@@williamardenjr116 funny you mention that in my 29 years of automotive torture, I also achieved a master Honda tech and a master Dodge Chrysler Jeep tech. but the smartest thing I ever did is quit working on cars go back to college and achieved an engineering degree and finished up with a 4.0 grade average. not that I’m a genius I just did a whole lot of studying. i’m curious where you saw that recommendation I believe you, but I had never seen that recommendation. I worked on a lot of 300ZX is with the 3 L motor and some of the plugs were super scary getting out required a good shot of rust penetrant and many back and forth to get the plug out and sometimes they still carried some threads with them. once you put anti-seize on the new plugs, they always came out with ease. I always put a small amount of anti-seize on plug threads and I have never had a problem getting them out or any kind of drivability problems. It does have a change the friction coefficient of the threads so you have to be easy on talking them in, and there is a calculation for the type of lubricant, you put on the threads and the reduction in force to achieve the same clamping force.

Alex, For those long spark plugs with bad access, try a snug fitting piece of hi pressure ( ply reinforced ) fuel hose for starting and snugging down, then wrenching tight to finish with socket... this saves a lot of tiny 1/8 turns with ratchet wrench ! The hose is also MUCH better for "feeling" the threads to avoid cross threading damages. Scuffing up exterior of hose with sandpaper for your hands, aids in gripping with gloves or greasy fingers. To help with water intrusion (due to heat/cool cycles and capillary effects) in electrically sensitive areas, try the old "Aqua Net" hairspray trick ! The aqua net repels water from hair, and will do so on spark plugs and wire connections quite well, remember to let it dry on plug and wires before assembling since it's flammable when wet ! It acts a bit like the Rain X windshield product vs water. Do you know if the body wrap is blocking the door opening sensor(s) ? I watched other 12C videos and it seems like you don't need to swipe so much as hold hand in the correct spot for a second or two... is it temp sensitive, magnetic field sensing or an optical sensor ?

For an old car like this use a paintbrush with plastic holding the bristles to not scratch anything. The results are amazing! All the little corners are clean and look as new after cleaning with that. :) I mean how could you ever get the dirt out around the buttons and stuff... This is so easy and makes it look almost new.

I enjoyed watching your video and feel thankful that I have a 2014 Shelby GT500 that I can work on if needed and all at a fraction of the cost - and good for 200mph if needed. I even have extra wheels and snow tires for it so I can drive it year round!! 64yrs old now and living the dream....and not to worry I'm not taking this car with me when I die and I'm not saving it for someone else.

The McLaren demystify! For anyone that has a mechanical inclination.. Alex just showed you could get into it too. The "Ron", is the class of octane in the UK. It's my understanding that RON numbers is a better fuel quality than we have here in the U.S

I drove 104 miles per day for work, and nearly 3 Minnesota winters later, it still looks good. So if you’re not sure, go for it!

Ron '98 is, of course, Ron Dennis, McLaren boss for many years. He would always sign each car somewhere, under the dash or in your case in the fuel filler. When you had the Rolls Royce, you would have found 'Henry' written inside the heater trunking. As for Gutentight, we say 'jolly tight old chap'.

RON - The research octane number (RON) is defined as the percentage by volume of iso-octane in a mixture of iso-octane and n-heptane that knocks with some intensity as the fuel is being tested.An octane rating, or octane number, is a standard measure of a fuel's ability to withstand compression in an internal combustion engine without detonating. The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating. Octane rating does not relate directly to the power output or the energy content of the fuel per unit mass or volume, but simply indicates gasoline's capability against compression.

95% sure that this is the sealing lip between the filter an d the cover of the Airbox it will result in some unfiltered air going into the engine - it will be a very tiny amount but some amount of air will bypass the filter i doubt that it will be an issue - but my ocd will not allow to reuse a damaged filter
