6Installation
1. Measure the electrode gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifica-
tion.
2. Clean the gasket surface. Wipe off
any grime from the threads.
3. Install the spark plug and tighten it
to the specified torque.
NOTE:@ If a torque wrench is not available when
you are installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4 to
1/2 turn past finger tight. Have the
spark plug tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible. @4. Install the spark plug caps.
