i was actually thinking of getting the 4cyl petrol(because i know petrol), ended up with the 1kd must admit i'm not upset i went diesel, just a steep learning curve, kinda makes me nervous but i enjoy learning ........... never use bosch plugs they're garbage always NGK's 👌, also for indexing plugs you can also get extra crush washers if you can't get it in the right spot (really really fussy racer boys know)... also a little anti-sieze on the threads can be a good thing especially with alloy heads..... just my worthless 2cents
Depends what Engine and the top of use standard plugs maybe 40,000 km Iridium and platinum last longer maybe 100 150,000 km maybe longer after all they do want to sell them to you so they might be telling us to change them at 100,000 when they’re still good to 200,000 that’s why they should be visually checked Periodically screw Repco down like I do get them for half price. The retail price is a rip off.
Thanks Anthony... Never heard of indexing before! Excellent info yet again. Cheers 🍻

Hey mate, do you need to change all 6 spark plugs all together or can you do 4 out of 6 sparks...? Or 5 of 6...?
Good question.. I guess we just do the 6.... ???
Yes change them all
Is the 150- V6 any different?
Do you just scrape the old rtv with a chisel or something to clean it up?
How is this comment 9 days old?
I think plugs are Torqued 14 pounds ,,,,but sounds like you do fine without torque wrench
Most of us are more comfortable doing it by hand Ant!! 😁
What about the hard side only reason I’m here
Fr😂
The near side is a pia. I'll be paying someone to do them next time
It cost me $256 from my mechanic :(
I just did the job in an hour. Really jot a hard job if you think about it logically and disconnect the evap line
The otherside is so much worse!! I bought the plugs thinking this is an easy job!
My v6 with 700k on the clock..... yeah i yhink i did better on the petty bro
