Sounds like there is a need to create a spark plug stretch gauge. :-)  Tom


Just a caution to all about specific torque figures. The 15 - 20 ft- lb figure in the shop manual is probably a dry torque figure. Anti-sieze on the threads acts as a lubricant. It will result in a considerably tighter actual clamping force (and stress on the plug threads) at a 15-20 ft-lb torque reading than you would have at the same torque and no anti-sieze .
