Gotta give him credit for getting OEM.

This kind of stuff is why I always check gaps. Never can tell what the factory is gonna send out.

[sosayweall]

I know whats wrong with it. Aint got no gap in it! 😂

[WhipCityWrencher]

If it was dropped,
I'd check the porcelain for cracks also 👍

[javier.villatoro]

My man took "just drop new spark plugs in it" too literally.

Love your Volvo channel, keep up with the great connect📼📽️🎥

I don't care if they say they they're pre-gapped. You always check the gap on plugs before I put them in

[ghostedhd]

As a mechanic you can never be too careful.. not only check the gap but use a multi-meter to verify they are good..

[Co-higc]

Plugs have to be recalibrated before installation

[ronsimmaculatedetailing]

I remember when I started working as a mechanic. I had sold spark plugs. I went to the lead tech and told him one of them wasn’t gapped. He took some pliers and opened it up and said some gap is better than no gap 😂😂😂😂 damn engine purred like a kitten

One time a mechanic told me you don't need to check the gap, they come pre gaped! 😂

[rod]

Another thing to always check is the wire side of the plug. The contact on the end is threaded and if its not tight it can cause a miss too.

[prestonwarren]

Use a piece of rubber hose to gently lower your sparkplug into the hole and thread it in.

[VoidsDemise]

Just use a gap tool and bend the ground electrode to requirement

[IAmGabe]

Do you need to torque the spark plugs with a torque wrench when putting In The news ones ?

[TekMan]

Is there a way to hone in onto a bad plug prior to pulling all plugs?

[sofaonasock]

What make and model are OPs latex gloves?

[southbay]

I just changed mine and I am getting misfires now. I did not drop my plugs and double checked all of them for gap specs. The problem I have is that they are cheap plugs. Go with your OEM plugs for your vehicle

[BRNRACE]

Also, always check the depth of the plug vs the oem one. Don’t rely on the auto parts store to sell you the right one. I seen it whe the piston hits the plug and closed the gap

Love them "pre-gapped" plugs!
