Impressive one! Thank You!
Spark plug removal, replacing, and maintaining is not as easy as what you think! It takes a lot of effort and time. I already searched and read a lot of forums discussing about replacing spark plug but I found this post the most comprehensive with clear visuals and demonstration! Thanks for the effort... you did a great job!

When it comes to your car's ignition system, timing is crucial. With correct timing, the spark plugs fire off simultaneously and electrical sparks are supplied to the engine cylinders at the right moment.the spark plugs can't do everything on their own. They still need an igniter to bring your car's engine to life. Without this simple device, the spark plugs won't function properly.
