Tighten each 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:

b)
Then loosen the plug.
c)
Next, tighten the plug again:

Improperly tightened spark plugs can
damage the engine. If a plug is too loose,
a piston may be damaged. If a plug is too
tight, the threads may be damaged.
