if you get the ngk iridiums, they come with the proper gap already...but they cost $12 US per plug.

*Bump for someone that knows more!

No idea, I always just put 'em "good-n-snug". :)

I can tell when they are on all the way, you can feel the metal washer on the plug scrunch a little bit, right as it snugs up.

:twisted: I have the service manual with me and it doesnt say what the torque specs are. Its says to put anti-seize compound on to the spark plug treads though. "Good-n-snug" is what I do too. The spark plug gap should be around 0.039 to 0.043 of an inch. :twisted:
