Appreciate the video man! A few things I found while doing this. I’m pretty mechanically inclined so this took about 45 minutes. You don’t need to remove the rear bracket to get the middle and rear plugs out. Also I just folded the rubber foam piece cover the rear plug up and back out of the way. No real reason to remove them unless you just need the extra space 🤷♂️

Hello, there is a controversy about which spark plug to use. I was looking into the following options: Denso (3491) FK20HBR8 Denso Iridium TT - 4705 Which one of the two do you recommend using and why?
@infosponge
4 күн бұрын
The factory plug is the 3491 and it works perfectly fine so why change it. That said the smaller electrode size on the 4705 may add slight longevity and performance increases. I would just buy whichever one is cheaper at the time.

I'm just trying to find a definitive answer on the 4705 versus 3491 spark plug dilemma. Both seem to work fine, but they are gapped slightly different and the 3491 is a little more expensive. I suppose it really doesn't matter but it's a bit maddening and I wish someone had some reliable info/data on the pro and cons of either.
