Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused.

7. Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
8. After a new spark plug has been seated by hand, it should be tightened 1/2 turn with a wrench to
compress the sealing washer. If a used plug is being reinstalled, it should only require 1/8 to 1/4 turn
after being seated.
