    spark plug torque rating(?)

    Okay so I've got a torque wrench and just bought new spark plugs, I've been looking in my Haynes manual and I can't find what torque setting to use to tighten down my spark plugs. Its in a 01 S. Anyone out there know for sure what torque setting to use? Thanks and sorry for my n00bness all the time. :)

    im pretty sure the torque figures for spark plugs is in in/lbs, and most likely your torque wrench is in ft/lbs

    do it hand tight and a little more than a quarter turn till snug..... DO NOT TIGHTEN THEM LIKE A NORMAL BOLT
