Installation
1. Measure the electrode gap

off any grime from the
threads.
3. Install the spark plug and tight-
en it to the specified torque.

If a torque wrench is not available
when you are installing a spark
plug, a good estimate of the cor-
rect torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past
finger tight. Have the spark plug
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug caps.
Spark plug gap:
0.6 ~ 0.7 mm
