1. now that you overtighten the plugs doing the wrong way being a barbie movie star, you cant be seriously leaving them in there? they are going to fail prematurely, if they dont have issues off the bat. the amount of extra torque watching how much it took to loose them compared to tighten them again you were way over, porcelain got stressed, has stress fatigue and weakened sealing, not to mention stretching. you go on and on and on about TTY bolts, what just happened to the plug? they break easy enough coming out in 80,000 plus miles later. you spent all that time explaining plugs, the plugs you pulled out had been overtighened when istalled, and you didnt even pick up on that,. the exh gases had passed beyond the plug, witness the exh gas ring above base of the plugs. i watch your vids to rationalize whether your wanting to be a tech, a movie star, its the see me, pay me thing your into. youtube cash not customer service, every job takes you longer, you drop parts, tools, cameras, lights, trying to juggle the movie with the job, the extra time it takes to redo what you drop, the time for all the hand gesters, pointing, not being used to complete the job. whether you flat rate, or charge the customer for clock time who knows, but a customer sitting waiting to leave, the extra wait time the movie adds to the job is not fair to the customers. sure your busy a lot full, be less full if all time was spent working vs movies, and be less full had you not used youtube to advertise to get your client base. i dont watch you daily as a fully cert ASE L1 tech who took ALL tests in one night, yes all, and lowest score was a 92 i cant. to those who dont know you look like a great tech to those of us who do know, you make a lot of rookie mistakes, use wrong tools and hammers too much. and NO hands on tech (not shop owner who is not hands on) has the time during a day to lose making vids. your either good or your not, your either a tech or movie star. tech who make good $ use every minute of every day to make that $ and waste none, a youtube tech like you also uses youtube and google university to look for the knowledge on an issue they are stumped on or to find that not so short short cut. some of you guys give us all bad reps.

2. Today 108° , the other day 117° in the shade! Surprise, AZ. Much hotter in the sun as you know.

3. I wouldn't lay wrench on that junk!

4. Oh, for the days when all you had to do was pop the wire off a plug, unscrew it, screw in a new one and pop the wire back on.

5. Wales in UK was 37c but was super high humidity which just drains your energy. We are used to summers around 25-29 and winters round +3c to -10c

   So heatwaves are relative to what you’ve acclimatised too.

6. I have one of the "older" 5.4L engines (2001 F150). The problems I face with coil or plug replacement is the fuel rail being right over the top of coils from#3 on. #7 is the worst due to some little regulator thing in the rail and I have to lift the rail off the injectors for that one. #4 of course is right next to the A/C. But at least it's not the 04-08 engine with those snap off spark plugs.

7. A sign of a true hack, power tools, dropping the plugs in the head, and no Antiseize but a ton of dialectic grease…

8. I'm playing catch up but I'm at -1°c in the morning and only getting up to 12°c in australia

9. It's 20degrees centigrade in the Northern uk today, bit too warm for me….

10. Good to hear the intro again!!

11. Ray, wouldn’t you be happier sitting behind a desk in an air conditioned office ?

12. i was up in canada at the time of filming, but back in scotland it was around 18-23 celcius back home

13. In the Home Depot where I work it has been in triple digits. 106 on a couple days. Never seen it this hot!🥵 I am in Windsor, northern California.

14. It's 78 F in Queensland of Australia, east coast.

15. 3v 5.4 l is a 2 piece Uber poor design from Ford I haven't gotten to the bad part in the video yet but I feel it coming.

16. Ray…Plan on changing plugs on 2010 Ford Foucs. What would your recommend to put in plug hole and letting sit before backing out the old plugs? Plugs are original with 102K on them.

19. We don’t seem to be getting a summer, this year. Well into the second half of July ‘24 and the daytime temperature is expected to reach almost 17C (62F). That’s a good bit below average for the time of year. We’d expect around 21-23C (70-73F) on a cold day in July and August, though warm days can go into 25+ without causing a stir.
    Nobody talks about the places where temperatures are lower than normal, because that doesn’t fit the program. It’s all about temperature being a couple of degrees above average. So if you have a normally hot place and it’s hotter, we need to hear about that. That’s what sells your electric vehicles, you see. Temperate places being cooler? Meh! Not so much.

20. We don't think 78° in July is too hot in the UK. The climate alarmists just want us to think that.

21. we matched you in temp, were 89 here too in MN

22. Had 102F while out fishing today in Sweden. It was a bit to warm if you ask me…

23. 109F and 20%H
