Just stop.

To be fair one claim was installing the plugs and one was installing the plugs AND including filming.

Either way...

Prove it’s doable. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

Set up and start a camera. Open the hood. Go through the entire process removing and reinstalling all four plugs. Close the hood. Then shut off the camera. Release uncut/unedited footage of the entire job.

I have yet to do a plug change on these cars. I have no first hand experience one way or the other. But your claims contradict the “common knowledge” of the time it takes to do a plug change on these cars. So prove there is a faster/better way. Show those of us that will need to do a plug change in the future how it can be done in half an hour instead of two to three hours.

If you succeed, you changed common knowledge. If you fail (or fail to take up the challenge)....

I apologize that your reading comprehension missed the fact that I stated that time included filming and not just the install itself.

I'm not trying to shove it in anyone's face that I was able to do the install quicker than others have so I'm not quite sure why you chose to be an ass about it.

I already showed people exactly how I did it in the video I posted. I really have nothing to prove to the internet. People can do the install however they prefer. If you don't believe me, that's fine. There's no need for me to go out of my way to please everyone on the internet.

The problem is this video has been made about 10 times following the same exact steps, so

1. its not a new video
2. the time is very misleading and false. I highly doubt you can do it as fast as you claim,
3. In the very slight change you actually did, 99% of anyone watching it will take the usual 3 hours attempting to do it this method.
4. Stated time should include full setup, and full clean up. (IE on stands, grab all tools, put away all tools, off stand etc...)
5. it seems like your just pushing your YouTube channel and trying to get some clout by making a (30min spark plug change video) that no one will ever be able to actually do. most likely because even you couldn't.
6. if it only took 30mins then it should only take you 30 mins to prove you did it, and then you could gain a lot of followers/respect. and shut all of us up. Until then you'll just get flamed for things like this.

Broh, why are you so invested in this?
Like what will it change in the grand scheme of your life and the universe?

Roughly the same amount as you making this comment.
What does any forum have to do with the grand scheme of life?

That and saving other people the headache of attempting to follow this, when there is a much much easier method.

If someone's selling snake oil, you going to just stand by and watch people get scammed?

I highly doubt me proving it is going to gain me any more followers

I have no need to waste my time proving to some random stranger on the internet I was able to do something.

You can flame all you want
