If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug
seats to compress the washer. If reinstalling a used spark plug,
tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats.

After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench to
compress the washer.

Make sure that the spark plug
washer is in good condition, and
thread the spark plug in by hand
to prevent cross-threading.

The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened
spark plug can become very hot and may damage the engine.

Measure the plug gap with a wire-
type feeler gauge. Correct as
necessary by carefully bending
the side electrode.

The gap should be:
