To install the spark plug
1.
Measure the spark plug gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifi-
cation.
Spark plug gap:
0.7 ~ 0.8 mm (0.028 ~ 0.031 in)
2.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
3.
Install the spark plug with the spark
plug wrench, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
13 Nm (1.3 m • kgf, 9.4ft • lbf)
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4~1/2 turn past
finger tight. However, the spark plug
should be tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible.
4.
Install the spark plug cap.
5.
Install the panel.
