Well done video! Thanks. The OEM coil for this engine really isn’t designed for iridium plugs. The copper plugs are the best choice but don’t last as long unfortunately. Good call on not using anti-seize.
I have one but they aren't very accurate and they can damage the plug. This article goes into some details: www.revzilla.com/common-tread/how-to-gap-a-spark-plug
It is recommended to not use anti-seize on modern spark plugs as it will alter the torque. The metal used in modern spark plugs is also designed not to seize.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Your videos on the LC are very helpful thank you for documenting and posting, very much appreciated
Thank you!

Appreciate the info!
You bet!
Start from the rear and just take all the cables off then get a length of heater hose to lift the plugs out and get them started much easier
Great idea. My Dad used to do that and I’d forgotten. Thanks
What is that module above the last spark plug? Vacuum? I broke the plastic piece trying to remove wire..
thank you for this great info :)
Very informative
I am willing that if you post some thing ( cleaning or rebuild the carburetor ) it’s quite tricky
I have the 1FZ-FE which is fuel injected.
@@Rickmakes so that’s why I am looking to swap my engine,, carburetor such pain ...
Taking gap measurement only at one point per spark plug is an instant fail
Thanks for the tip!
Why don’t you just buy the spark plug coin?

Also later model 1fzs use a double grounded spark plug
@@bigoz1734 You're right but that version of the engine didn't make it to the USA and Canada, also don't think it made it to Europe.
Not running anti-sieze, also instant fail
