Hey guys, what's the torque value for 1275 spark plugs.

I'm gonna do some plug readin' tonight.


Thanks!
 
Spark plug tight?
 
In reality I think it is 30 lbs.



ER for our little cars in any case.
 
A dab of anti-seize is an once of prevention type
thing here.
I've never torqued 'em but just went with good and snug.
I have had to remove PO plugs that had been over tightened
with no anti-seize. Using a large pipe on the end of a wrench
to break the plugs loose is kind of scary. :rolleyes:
 
Years ago I had one blow out on a Mustang up in the Grand Tetons. Think the folks that did the tune up were a bit remiss.
