4. Remove the spark plugs by turning it
counter-clockwise, using a 5/8" (16
mm) socket wrench and handle that
is provided in tool bag.
5. Inspect the spark plug. Replace the
spark plug if the electrodes are worn
or if the insulators are cracked or
chipped.
6. Measure the spark plug electrode
gap with a wire type feeler gauge.
The gap should be 0.8-0.9 mm
(0.031-0.035 inches). If the gap is
different, replace the spark plug with
a new one
Use spark plug NGK DCPR-6E.
1. Electrode
2. Spark gap (0.8–0.9 mm, 0.031–0.035 in)
7. Install the spark plug by hand and
turn it carefully to avoid cross-
threading.
8. Tighten the spark plug to the speci-
fied torque.

Note
z Spark plug torque:
18.0 N·m (13.3 ft·lb) [1.84 kgf·m]
If a torque-wrench is not available when
you are fitting a spark plug, a good esti-
mate 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.
