Re: still... Spark Plugs? ALL 85

Michael-

Only time I have seen an OE plug come apart was when it was overtightened. The torque spec is 18 ft/lbs. I ALWAYS us a torque wrench and anti-seize when installing plugs. Saves on the grief you describe. Also, the heat range of a plug depends on the tightening torque. It makes me cringe when I see someone 'install' plugs with air tools.
