and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug and tighten it to the
specified torque. If a torque wrench is not
available when you are installing the spark
plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is
one-quarter to one-half turn past finger tight.
Have the spark plug tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Reinstall the console.Spark plug gap:
