97' Cavalier Spark plug torque

[Nick R]

I've looked and I can't seem to find it anywhere.... What are the spark plugs on a Cavalier 2.2L OHV supposed to be torqued to?

13 ft lbs or 13 lb ft, which ever you prefer =)

good en tight with 3/8" rachet without reefing on them.

Thanks! Now when I pick up the NGK V-Power plugs the local auto parts store is having a sale on (4 for $6) I know what I'll have to torque them to/

I screw them in with a flex socket and extension very lightly until the plug seats. Then I give them a half-turn and by then they are usually just right.

With no gasket [tapered seats] you can tighten them until they just touch, and then another 1/16 of a turn.
With a gasket type plug, 1/4 turn when new is OK.

I just make it tight holding the ratchet by the head above the handle.
