I just picked up a new set of plugs for the RX, just wondering how many foot pounds do i torque them to?
Thanks!

 

just a little more than hand tight is fine. dont want to risk stripping out the aluminum housings.

 

9.4 to 13 ft-lb

 

Don't forget your anti - sieze .

thanks!

 

cool i needed those torque numbers too! yeah don't forget the anti-seize!

 

Anti-sieze? I replaced mine about 2k miles ago, just curiouse...later

 

It is a lube type stuff that you should apply to threads that are exposed to a lot of heat cycling. Such as spark plugs and exhaust bolts and nuts. It aids in removal when the time comes.

I don't have exact numbers, but I usually just screw it in finger tight and then give it one good tug with the ratchet.

I'm sure that doesn't help

 

I have yet to use a torque wrench. Just finger tight and then go one to two turns with wrench. I try to use one with a short handle as to assure not to get too much torque from it.

 

just got some NGK BUR9EQP's and BUR7EQP's from Advance Auto Parts

counter dude was like, 'uh, it's a 4 cylinder right?'

i politely corrected him that it's 2 rotor, but i really wanted to smack upside his head

first time i've ever had a n00b tell me i have a 4 cyl.

 

oh yeah on the NGK boxes it says to turn 1/2 - 2/3 turn after the plug has seated in correctly.

 

I had a moron at advance hand me 4 leading plugs once.
