I'm changing plugs--anyone have the torque spec handy for these? (I'm assuming it's a low value w/alum. heads--don't want to overdo it!)

TIA,

Jeff

ps: yeah--I searched--couldn't find any reference tho I know it's in here somewhere

 

that should be 27nm (ungreased) ... and don't forget the never-seize!

There is a Factory tool, btw, that has the proper sized socket and an attachment that they call a "torque limiter" , just in case your garage doesn't have a torque wrench!

Thanks much--where do you find this stuff, btw? I can't believe how little info. is available.

That's actually higher than I thought it would be. Any good rule-of-thumb for how much to compensate for adding anti-seize? (I always use this stuff on plugs. I hear ti-to-ti is even more prone to welding itself together.)

After some digging, here's Denso's recommendations (below). There's a lot of net-wisdom about what we ought to reduce torque values by when applying anti-seize--obviously no consensus.
