Spark Plug install on 7th Gen Civic
Product Bosch Platinum (not the +4 or +2) Spark plugs
Cost:
Hookup price from friend although at Schucks I believe they were $2/ each so $8+Tax
Difficulty:
Anyone who can turn a ratchet can do this.
Tools needed:
-Torque Wrench w an extension
-Spark Plug socket
-Spark plug gap guage
-10mm socket
-Screwdriver
-Wire brush
Prep:
Check all spark plugs with gap gauge and make sure they are within tolerance. All of my Bosch's came out to 1.1mm which the stock was 1mm.
Steps:
1. Let engine cool, and remove wire cover with screw driver.
2. Remove 10mm nut and remove ignition coil.
3. Clean ignition coil.
4. Remove old spark plug.
5. Insert new spark plug.
6. Torque the spark plug down to 13lb/ft torque.
7-8. Repeat #2-6 for the other 3 cylinders.
9. Warm up car for 5 minutes or so.
Enjoy your new spark plugs
