gonna change my spark plugs out today, does anyone know how much torque you have to apply when putting the new ones in and tightening them ?
thanks

 

I pulled my plugs at 30k miles, no wear whatsoever these will go 110k.
I contemplated putting in Denso but the Denso iridium plug was not
intentical "reach".

Mine did need regapping, idle improved. Really there's no need to replace.
Color of my plug indicated correct heat range.

Try sparkplugs.com, they have a table of torque based on plug size / tread type and cyl head material, and will have specs on your plug size and thread type.

 

13 ft-lbs

Be sure to use a small amount of anti-seize. I prefer the silver material over the brown.

The plugs should be good for 100,000 miles.

The gap is 0.039 to 0.041 inch. Any plug that has a out-of-spec. gap should be replaced and not regapped. (Don't ask me why -- I am just going by the Service Manual). They apparently come pre-gapped.

Plug Numbers:

NGK is IZFR6K11 (apparently OEM)
DENSO is SKJ20DR-M11

Q.E.D.

 

Regarding the gap, here is what the Service Manual states on P. 4-21,, "Do not adjust the gap of iridium tip plugs; replace the spark plug if the gap is out of specification".
