Spark Plug

Servicing Your Honda

An improperly tightened spark plug can damage the engine. If a plug is
too loose, a piston may be damaged. If a plug is too tight, the threads
may be damaged.

With the plug washer attached, thread the spark plug in by hand to
prevent cross-threading.
Tighten the spark plug:

First, tighten the plug:
NGK:

turn after it seats.

DENSO:

turn after it seats.

Then loosen the plug.
Next, tighten the plug again:
1/8 turn after it seats.

If the old plug is good:

1/8 turn after it seats.

If installing a new plug, tighten it twice to prevent loosening:

Connect the spark plug cap. Take care to avoid pinching any cables or
wires.
Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
