electrodes are burned or if the insulation is cracked or
damaged. Clean the spark plug with a steel brush if it is to
be reused.

should be 0.75 mm/0.030". Adjust as necessary by
bending the side electrode.

and damage the engine. Tightening the spark plug too
much can damage the threads in the cylinder head.
