Great vid!!! I just wanted to add some things that typically happen when do it yourselfers change plugs in an overhead configuration.

1. As you notice on the video a spark plug socket with a rubber insert was used. You may find out that after you install your first or second plug and pull the extension and socket out that the rubber stays on the plug instead of inside the socket.....It is inevitable if the socket is used over a period of time.

I keep two spark plug sockets for this reason. One is used to remove the spark plug, the second is used to install the spark plug. On the second socket I use just enough di-electric grease to allow the spark plug to stay fixed to the socket while lowering it into the cylinder head but it is just enough that the socket will come off with the rubber insert.

2. Another item you can use to coat the threads of your spark plug is never-sieze (you can't put it on your plug wires). It is a gray compound that contains graphite.

Don't mean to steal your thunder but this will happen to someone eventually.

You put dielectric gel on the threads? I thought dielectric gel was only for the point the coil mounts to...and that anti seize was for the threads....

you can use dielectric on the threads... you can also use anti seize... but you can't use anti seize on the plug wires.

The heat on the threads would be high...not sure if dielectric gel would be a good choice for threads. No telling how a particular formulation may react to sustained high metal to metal engine heat....

The tip of the electrode is thermally insulated to some extent by the ceramic portion of the spark plug....

I don't think I want to leave dielectric gel for roughly 30000 miles on the plug threads....just our luck it would cure into glue or something...

I think spark plugs are a mod cuz ur getting better performance spark plugs compared to the stock ones. For example getting step 1 colder spark plugs.
