What is the recommended torque for the spark plugs?

I would be happy to go with the 'stop when feeling resistance' method, but would rather go with the recommended torque setting so it is done properly.

Thanks in advance as I won't be able to reply when this gets moved Smile

    Perhaps doing it to resistance is probably best then.

    Keeping it General, did you get those trim bits Adam? I could use your advice RE wrapping soon.

    There is a reason it will have been moved though, just like there is a reason why you cannot any longer reply.

    You ask a technical question in the incorrect section because to use this forum for technical information will cost you £5 and you don't wish to pay. Wink
