Spark Plug Torque specs? Im going to be changing the spark plugs on my car tommorow but before I do that I wanted to ask you guys a question on the torque specs. I have a chilton book on these engines and it tells me that the torque specs on spark plugs is well over 100 foot pounds. But when I bought the plugs the box said it was something like 30 foot pounds. I dont have the exact numbers cause im at work but which one is it? BTW the plugs are ngk's
have fun getting a torque wrench down there. wtf!
just snug them down. they dont need to be rediculously tight. there aluminum heads so dont go crazy tight on them.
no need for a torque wrench.
