if the electrodes are worn or if the
insulator is cracked, chipped, or
fouled.

Measure the plug gap with a wire-
type feeler gauge. Correct as
necessary by carefully bending
the side electrode.
The gap should be:
0.028 0.031 in (0.7 0.8 mm)

Make sure that the spark plug
sealing washer is in good
condition, and thread the spark
plug in by hand to prevent cross-
threading.

After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench to
compress the washer.
If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug
seats to compress the washer. If reinstalling a used spark plug,
tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats.
The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened
spark plug can become very hot and may damage the engine.
