Spark plugs - tightening
« on: April 10, 2012, 09:37:09 am »
Planning on changing my spark plugs later when I get home from work providing the weather is still nice.

How much do I need to tighten the spark plugs back up to? I have a torque wrench so can measure the torque.


Thanks!

If you don't have a torque wrench, just hand tighten the plug the add half a turn.  :smiley:
Without traction power is nothing!
