Spark Plugs
Tighten the spark plugs carefully. A
spark plug that is too loose can
overheat and damage the engine.
Overtightening can cause damage to
the threads in the cylinder head.
8. Push the wire connector onto the
ignition coil. Make sure it locks in
place.
9. Install the ignition coil. Reinstall
the bolt.
6. Put the new spark plug into the
socket, then screw it into the hole.
Screw it in by hand so you do not
crossthread it.
7. Torque the spark plug. (If you do
not have a torque wrench, tighten
the spark plug 2/3 of a turn after it
contacts the cylinder head.)
Tightening torque:
18 N·m (1.8 kgf·m , 13 lbf·ft)
