Before fitting the spark plug, measure the
electrode gap with a wire thickness
gauge; adjust the gap to specification if
necessary.
When fitting the plug, always clean the
gasket surface and use a new gasket.
Wipe off any dirt from the threads and
screw in the spark plug to the correct
torque.
NOTE:
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.
