Someone with a Helms Manual?
Can someone with a Helms manual post/scan directions for changing spark plugs and wires. Need info on wrench size needed and proper torque turn (flat or taper). Thanks.

I got the plugs. I was buying the springs from a fellow acura-cl member with an email address of bbbilliyum@hotmail.com. His name is William Shih and he lives in San Gabriel, CA. I arranged everything with him and sent him a money order almost a month ago but haven't seen anything on my end and no emails from him either. I called the bank and the money order hasn't been cashed yet either. I stopped payment on the money order but of course that costed me money, so who wants to take a road trip out there and see what this guys' story is?

I have the Helms Manual. I don't see the wrench size, but on page4-18 the manual advises-"4.Apply a small quantity of anti-seize compound to the plug threads, and screw the plugs into the cylinder head finger-tight. Then torque them to 18N.m(1.8 kgf.m, 13 lb-ft.).". Hope that this helps.
