BUNDYS GARAGE BUNDY HERE HEY TODAY WE ARE WORKING ON A 2005 HONDA PILOT WITH A HONDA
J SERIES V6 WERE DOING THE SPARK PLUGS ON THIS HONDA IT'S NOT HARD NOT HARD AT ALL THERES
A LOT OF ROOM BACK THERE BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND THE REAR SPARK PLUGS SP RIGHT THERE I'M
SHOWING YOU THE REAR SPARK PLUGS IT'S A 6MM ALLEN KEY THAT YOU NEED TO GET THE BOLTS OFF
FOR THE COILS PACKS OFF OF ALL 6 HONDA COIL PACKS THERES ACTUALLY 3 IN THE BACK ALL 3
IN THE BACK HAVE TO COME OUT ALL 3 IN THE FRONT HAVE TO COME OUT YOU HAVE ENOUGH ROOM
BACK THERE TO SNEAK YOUR HAND BACK THERE AND BREAK LOOSE THE BOLTS THAT HOLD ON THE COIL
PACKS AFTER THAT I'M JUST REACHING BACK THERE AND BREAKING THE CONNECTOR FREE GETTING THE
CONNECTOR FREE AND CLEAR OF THE COIL PACK YOU JUST SQUEEZE THE SIDE TOGETHER AND AS
YOUR SQUEEZING ON THE SIDE IT JUST POPS UP AS YOUR SQUEEZING YOU JUST PULL IT TOWARDS
THE CENTER OF THE ENGINE IT SHOULD JUST POP UP AND OUT AND THEN ONCE YOU HAVE ALL THE
BOLTS OUT AND ALL THE CONNECTORS OFF YOU GO AHEAD YOU PULL THE COIL PACKS OUT FREE AND
CLEAR AND THEN THAT WILL GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THE SPARK PLUGS DOWN IN THE SPARK PLUG TUBES
I KNOW SOME OF THE VEHICLES WITH THE HONDA J SERIES V6 LIKE ON A ACCORD OR AN ODYSSEY
THERE'S LESS ROOM BACK THERE BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND THE SPARK PLUGS RIGHT THERE I JUST SHOWED
YOU THE 5/8THS SPARK PLUG SOCKET AND I'M WORKING ON CYLINDER NUMBER 3 JUST GET A 6 INCH 3/8THS
EXTENSION WITH A 5/8THS SPARK PLUG SOCKET AND A 3/8THS RATCHET AND JUST BREAKING IT
FREE AND CLEAR JUST PULLING NUMBER 3 SPARK PLUG OUT AND JUST GO AROUND AND DO THIS FOR
ALL 6 OF THEM 1 THROUGH 3 AND 4 THROUGH 6 1 THROUGH 3 ARE IN THE BACK AND 4 THROUGH
6 ARE IN THE FRONT SIDE STARTING ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND THEN LEADING TO THE DRIVERS SIDE
RIGHT THERE I'M JUST SPEEDING IT UP AND GETTING THE SPARK PLUGS 1 AND 2 OUT ON THE BACK SIDE
THERE ARE THE 3 SPARK PLUGS THAT I PULLED OUT SO FAR THEY LOOK OK THEY LOOK DECENT THEY
HAVE BEEN CHANGED AT ONE TIME SO I PICKED UP SOME RUTHENIUM SPARK PLUGS FROM ROCKAUTO,COM
RUTHENIUM HX BY NGKRIGHT THERE HX SUSPOSED TO BE THE LATEST AND GREATEST SO WE WILL CHECK
IT OUT I'LL INSTALL THESE AND SEE WHAT THE CUSTOMER SAYS ABOUT THEM I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO FIND MUCH INFO ABOUT THE RUTHENIUM SPARK PLUGS SO IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD TEST SO RIGHT
THERE I'M JUST COMPARING THE OLD SPARK PLUG TO THE NEW SPARK PLUG YOU CAN SEE THE TIPS
ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ON THE RUTHENIUM SPARK PLUG AND THE OIL SPARK PLUG SORRY IT'S
OUT OF FOCUS THE OIL SPARK PLUG IS A LITTLE BIT WORN DOWN SO IT'S A GOOD THING I'M CHANGING
THESE WHOEVER HAD THIS HONDA PILOT BEFORE DID NOT KEEP UP ON MAINTENANCE SO RIGHT HERE
WE'RE ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE FRONT SPARK PLUGS AND THE RADIATOR JUST
PULLING ALL THE COIL PACKS OUT GETTING THE BOLTS OUT AND THEN I DISCOVERED THERES AN
OIL LEAK ON CYLINDER # 3 AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THEREIT'S DUE TO A OH THERES AN O-RING ON
THE TOP OF THE OIL TUBE SEAL AND I INSTALLED THAT INCORRECTLY AND THE SPARK PLUG TUBE ACTUALLY
HAS OIL IN IT I'M SHOWING THAT TO YOU IN THE MIRROR AND SO I END UP ACTUALLY POPPING THAT
VALVE COVER OFF LATER THAT DAY REPLACING IT WITH HONDA A HONDA SPARK PLUG SEAL IF YOU
CAN ALWAYS GO OE ON THESE VALVE COVERS AND THE SPARK PLUG TUBE SEALS I'VE HAD MULTIPLE
I'M NOT SAYING FEL PRO IS BAD BUT I'VE HAD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION FEL PRO GASKETS
OR FEL PRO FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE HAVE LEAKED PREMATURELY OR WERE NOT THE CORRECT
SIZE ON COMPARING THE FEL PRO SPARK PLUG TUBE SEAL TO THE OE HONDA ONE THE FELPRO WAS JUST
A LITTLE BIT SHORTER SO I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT WAS LEAKING OIL TO RE-INSTALL
THE SPARK PLUGS I USE DI-ELECTRIC GREASE DI-ELECTRIC GREASE I USE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COIL PACK
OR WHERE THE COIL PACK GOES ONTO THE SPARK PLUGS AND I'LL JUST GET A LITTLE BIT OF THAT
AND PUT THAT INTO THE TIP OF THE COIL PACK AND THEN THE ANTI SEIZE THERE THIS IS WHAT
I WILL USE ON THE SPARK PLUGS THEMSELVES I KNOW THERES A BIG DEBATE ONLINE AND I HAVE
GUYS EMAIL ME EVERYDAY OH YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE ANTI SEIZE ON THE SPARK PLUGS THEY HAVE
A LAYER OF ANTI SEIZE ON THEM ALREADY WELL YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S ALL GOOD AND FINE FOR
YOU IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT GO AHEAD BUT IN MY EXPERIENCE I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN SPARK PLUGS
GET STUCK IN A HEAD AND ITS A PAIN ON THE BUTT IF THET DO SO YOU STICK TO YOUR WAY I'LL
STICK TO MY WAY AND UM MY WAY IS BASED ON EXPERIENCE SO I ALWAYS PUT ANTI SEIZE ON SPARK
PLUGS BEFORE I INSTALL THEM INTO THE HEAD AND I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME SO RIGHT THERE
I HAVE A RUBBER HOSE IT'S A I THINK IT'S A 5/8THS RUBBER HOSE WHAT I DO WITH THAT I GO
AHEAD I PUT THE END ON THE SPARK PLUGS IN THERE JUST LIKE I'M SHOWING YOU RIGHT THERE
AND I USE THAT TO ACTUALLY I USE THAT AS A GUIDE TO ACTUALLY PUT THAT SPARK PLUG DOWN
INTO THE DOWN IN THE HOLE THE RECESSED HOLE REASON I DO THAT I HAVE SEEN GUYS WHERE THEY
JUST DROP THEM INTO THE HOLE AND YEAH YOU CAN DO IT BUT YOU RIN THE RISK OF CHANGING
THE GAP ON THE SPARK PLUG AND RIGHT THERE I JUST PUT A LITTLE BIT OF ANTI SEIZE ON IT
AND ROLLING IT AROUND THE SPARK PLUG THIS JOB ISN'T HARD AT ALL ANYBODY CAN DO THIS
JOB ONLY SPECIAL TOOL YOU REALLY NEED IS A 5/8THS SPARK PLUG SOCKET YOU CAN PICK THAT
UP FROM O'REILLY'S OR AUTOZONE AND RIGHT THERE I JUST LEAD IT IN AND I'LL DO THIS WITH ALL
6 SPARK PLUGS PUT THE COIL PACKS BACK IN PUT THE BOLTS BACK IN MAKE SURE THE CONNECTORS
ARE GOOD AND THEN YOUR READY TO ROCK AND ROLL SO THERE YOU GO GUYS ALEXA WHAT'S THE BEST
