Spark Plug Installation
Prior to installation make sure that con-

spark plugs are free of grime.
Using a feeler gauge, set the spark plug
gap between 0.6 to 0.7 mm (0.024 to
0.027 in).
Apply anti-seize lubricant over spark
plug threads to prevent a possible
seizure.
Screw spark plugs into cylinder heads
by hand and tighten with a torque
wrench and a proper socket.
