When getting a new socket for them then try get a magnet spark plug version type, will make changing them far easier.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

What's the appropriate torque for plugs? I've always thought finger tight + half a turn but I'm sure there's a something more precise..________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

Depends if the plugs are new or not.If they are new, it's generally finger tight then half a turn to crush the washer. If they are used then a quarter of a turn as the washer will have already been crushed. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Or as what a pro does is use a torque wrench.Doesnt the spark plug end have to be in at the right distance using the torque setting? Also as i do apply some copper grease around the top of threads so they dont get seized in etc. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.
