Tightening torque (Spark plug):
21 N
⋅ m (2.1 kgf-m, 15.2 ft-lb)
Tightening torque (Ignition coil):
16 N
⋅ m (1.6 kgf-m, 11.7 ft-lb)
NOTE:
The above torque should only be applied to new
spark plugs without oil on their threads.
In case their threads are lubricated, the torque
should be reduced by approximately 1/3 of the
specified torque in order to avoid over-stressing.
