Give Your Classic Holden a Spark with New Plugs — Featuring NGK
> Spark plugs are like tiny lightning bolts inside your engine, igniting the fuel and air to get you moving. Over time, they wear out from all the heat and electricity, and your old Holden starts running rough. Time for a change!
Is Your Holden Showing These Signs?
• Engine's misfiring, especially when you put your foot down
• Idling like a tractor
• Guzzling more gas than usual
• Hard to start on a cold morning
• That pesky check engine light's on
Will it pass WOF?
Worn spark plugs can cause your engine to pump out more emissions. And that means you will be heading back to the testing station for a re-check.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 4/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours
Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, extension, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates! Make sure the engine is stone-cold before you even think about touching those spark plugs. Gives everything a chance to cool down.
• Cleanliness is Key: Before you pull out the old plugs, give the area around them a good blast with some compressed air. You don't want any dirt falling into the engine.
• Thread Smart: When you're putting in the new plugs, a tiny dab of anti-seize compound on the threads is your best mate. It'll make them much easier to remove next time.
• Gap Right: Double-check the spark plug gap with a gap tool. Getting this right is crucial for smooth running.
