MAINTENANCE
CHECK
Visually inspect the spark plug. Replace the plug if it is
heavily fouled or the insulator [1] is cracked or chipped.
Check the following and replace if necessary.
– Insulator and sealing washer [2] for damage
– Center electrode [3] and side electrode [4] for wear
– Burning condition, coloration
Measure the plug gap with a wire-type feeler gauge.
If the measurement is out of the specification, adjust by
bending the side electrode.
If the gap is out of specification, replace the plug. Do
not clean or adjust the plug gap.
INSTALLATION
A loose spark plug can become very hot and can
damage the engine. Overtightening the spark plugs can
damage the threads in the engine.
Install and hand tighten the spark plugs to the cylinder
head, and then tighten the spark plugs to the specified
torque.
Install the ignition coil and tighten the bolt.
Install the plug maintenance cover [1] and tighten the
bolt [2] to the specified torque.
Install the engine cover.
