The torque spec on these plugs is 16 to 18 lb ft of torque. I said 18, but put them at 16 later. Both are within spec of the proper torque.
It's also a good idea to blow out the spark plug wells with compressed air from a compressor or can. Debris tends to gather down there and fall into cylinder when you take the plugs out.
Nice ratchet. My first time seeing one of those.
Solid tips and tricks! Great idea to use the hose to put the spark plugs in. Thanks for sharing as always!
