Yes, these MOPAR plugs are pre-gapped correctly. I did, however, double check all gaps with a feeler gauge. This was NOT shown in the video, but I installed them & then (due to 2nd-guessing my work) took them back out to check ALL of the gaps. Since on the first installation the crush washer (or crush gasket) was CRUSHED, when I reinstalled them, I torqued them to 20 Foot-Pounds. This figure came from the Haynes Manual for the car. Note the diagram on each MOPAR spark plug box shows how to tighten the plug with a NEW & UN-CRUSHED GASKET. This is what I did in the video. After the gasket has been CRUSHED, then you have to revert to using a torque wrench to tighten the plugs correctly.
YES I've changed both thermostats & the plastic housing on my 2.4L Dual VVT Engine. using part numbers below (I also changed upper & lower radiator hoses and the heater hoses) : Thermostat Housing - Mopar (4884571AB) Coolant Adapter Package - Mopar (68003582AB) Thermostat, Primary 170 Degree - Mopar (55111016AE) Thermostat, Secondary 203 Degree - Mopar (55111017AC) Adapter Seal - Mopar (4884572AA) Water Inlet Tube O Ring - Mopar (4884873AA) Radiator Inlet Hose - Mopar (5058997AG) Radiator Outlet Hose - Mopar (5058998AF) - discontinued (try NAPA, AutoZone, O'Reilly, etc.) Heater Supply Hose - Mopar (5058801AB) Heater Return Hose - Mopar (5058802AB) Note : The MOPAR hoses come with clamps (NAPA AutoZone, DiscountAuto, etc may not include clamps) Mopar parts are outrageously expensive, If money is tight look for a suitable substitute at NAPA, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, O'reilly, etc. But I did use all MOPAR parts when I did the work.
Outstanding work my friend. Thank you!
Just bought those exact plugs from the dealer, are they pre-gapped?
