Check spark plug gap a. Replace if it is over specified
value. Adjust gap if it is out of specified range.
Spark Plug Gap a:Standard Value
0.9 -1.0 mm (0.035 - 0.039 in)
Functional Limit:
1.2 mm (0.0472 in)
Specified Spark Plug:

Install spark plug, fully hand-tighten a, and then use plug
wrench to tighten to specified torque b.
Spark Plug:
27 N · m (20 lb · ft) [2.7 kgf · m]
If a torque-wrench is not available when you are
fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past finger-tight. Have
the spark plug adjusted to the correct torque as
soon as possible with a torque-wrench.
