How does someone not tighten a sparkplug?
You screw it in by hand, pick up the ratchet/torque wrench and do it up!!??
Or is here some modern way of tightening that has passed me by. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

'As recommended' by who?
"Without a Torque Wrench:
If a torque wrench is unavailable, finger tighten the spark plug, then use a plug wrench to tighten.
Autolite -For spark plugs with a Gasket: 1/4 turn on 10mm plugs, 3/8 turn on 12mm plugs, 1/2 turn on 14mm and 18mm plugs. 1/16 turn on plugs with a tapered seat.
Bosch - 1/4 turn on plugs with a Gasket. 1/16 turn on plugs with a tapered seat.
Champion - 3/8-5/8 turn on plugs with a Gasket. 1/16 turn on plugs with a tapered seat.
Denso - 1/4-1/2 turn on plugs with a Gasket. 1/8 turn on plugs with a tapered seat.
E3 - For spark plugs with a Gasket: 1/2 turn on 10mm plugs, 3/8-1/2 turn on 12mm plugs, 1/2-3/4 turn on 14mm plugs. 1/16 turn on plugs with a tapered seat.
NGK -1/2-2/3 turn on plugs with a Gasket. 1/12-1/8 turn on plugs with a tapered seat.
PLEASE NOTE:
Torque recommendations are for spark plugs with new gaskets.
If using anti-seize compound, use sparingly and reduce torque by 30%.
Each spark plug manufacturer has created their recommendations based on the general consensus of most engine manufactures. In the case of a discrepancy between the plug manufacturer and engine manufacturers recommendations, always default to the engine manufacturer." ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

You can do it. I sent the stuff to someone here with no mechanical aptitude and he had it done inside of half an hour.
I'll be in East Sussex all next week, otherwise send me your address and I'll post you the stuff you need. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

Well exactly. anyone who has half torn out a plug thread has already dumped a load of bits in their engine but they wouldn't think twice about putting the plug in and trying again but cutting a new thread is oh noes think of the kittens. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'
