Yeah, I know. Just responding to the portion where he said to change plugs and coils.
He already had all the plugs out by the time I got there. One did break on him and another was broken halfway done the thread. No clue how that happen. He's going to extract tomorrow and button it up. I'm going to get the coils and do those myself.

I've seen the porcelain crack in the past from a sloppy plug install.

It what it is. Not much more to say really. He's an honest guy who does great work. Many people around here feel the same way. So he snapped a plug. Let's say it was him and not the plug. Who's perfect? Who hasn't screwed up on the job. Only man I don't want saying oops while he's working is my tattoo artist.
And please don't take the text as if I'm popping off. Not intended to be read that way...

Regardless, I wish you luck all the same.

That's how it has to be in most cases. Tech's/Mechanics can be the best in the world but they aren't allotted time to cover ALL the bases most repairs require. Not their fault. Time is money and they're always being pushed often never getting the respect they deserve. I could never do it for a living, I can't/won't work that way, but I respect who put up with it.

Best tool for that job is battery impact, I believe your talking about something like that. I like the DeWalt brushless 20 volt 3 speed. I've broken them off tho, bottom half falling in the cylinder lol. Used the compression stroke to pop it out. A little dangerous but it works more than it doesn't fortunately. Kroil FTW always.
