NGK Ruthenium spark plugs after 80k miles

[ARCOgraphite]

I have never in a half century heard of clock tightening gasketed plugs. See post #20. Crush the washer till the torque ramps up and then add an extra "mild to moderate calibrated yank". All done on a cold engine with 3/8 drive and std length ratchet. - Arco

p.s.: one of thouse plugs has been replaced. Wonder if a coil went bye-bye somewhere along the way.

I could have gone more than 1/2 turn but I chose not to, I wanted to just be on the safe side rather than overtorque the plugs and strip out the threads.

You would have to be an ape to strip threads when installing a plug.

Pretty easy if you don't know any better and do them on a hot engine.

Revising a five month old thread Chris!?

I was about to reply and saw my old reply. And a hideous misspelling
Old Arco fooled yet again!
