Note
Spark plug torque:
18.0 N·m (13.3 ft·lb) [1.84 kgf·m]
If a torque-wrench is not available when
you are fitting a spark plug, a good esti-
mate of the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a
turn past finger-tight. Have the spark plug
adjusted to the correct torque as soon as
possible with a torque-wrench.
