6. Discard the spark plug if there is apparent wear or if the insulator
is cracked or chipped.
7. Using a wire-type feeler gauge, check the spark plug gap (4). If
adjustment is necessary, bend the side electrode carefully.
The gap should be:
1.00 – 1.10 mm (0.039 – 0.043 in)

8. With the plug washer attached, thread the spark plug in by hand
to prevent cross-threading.
9. Tighten the spark plug:
• If the old plug is good:
1/8 turn after it seats.
• If installing a new plug, tighten it twice to prevent loosening:
a) First, tighten the plug:
NGK:
DENSO: 1/2 turn after it seats.
b) Then loosen the plug.
c) Next, tighten the plug again:
1/8 turn after it seats.
