TIP

The spark plug gap should be measured with a wire

thickness gauge and, if necessary, adjusted to specifi-

cation.

5. Install the spark plug.

TIP

If a torque wrench is not available when installing a

spark plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is

1/4-1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the spark plug

should be tightened to the specified torque as soon as

possible.
