Spark Plug Torque Specifications: |

 |
Attention: |
1. |
Before installing any spark plug, always apply antiseize to threads.
This assures easy removal of the spark plug and prevents corrosion and seizing. |
2. |
For best high voltage insulation, to prevent arcing-over on the
outside of the aluminum oxide insulator and to repel moisture, always apply
a high quality silicone grease to the inside of the spark plug boot. |
3. |
To gap spark plugs always use a spark plug gapping tool. Never
pry the ground electrode with a screwdriver or similar object. This could
permanently damage the ceramic insulator and the center electrode, making
the spark plug inoperable and voiding the warranty. |
|
Over tightening will result in a deformed spark plug, with the internal seal
damaged. A spark plug damaged this way can lead to premature spark plug failure
and even engine damage. Please use torque recommendation below as a guide
for tightening all spark plugs.
