Spark Plug: Installing

CAUTION:

Do not over apply anti-seize compound. Only use enough to lightly coat the threads on the spark plug.

-- Apply a small amount of anti-seize to threads of each spark plug.

-- Check and adjust spark plug gap. Refer to SPARK PLUG SPECIFICATIONS .

CAUTION:

Start each spark plug by hand to avoid cross threading and plug damage, use a quality socket with a rubber insert.

-- Install the spark plug. Tighten the plug to 17.5 Nm (13 ft lbs).

-- Install the spark plug wires over the spark plugs. An audible click noise can be heard and felt when the wires are properly attached to spark plugs.
