• Remove any residual dirt with a strong jet of compressed air.
• Lubricate spark plug thread with engine oil or graphitised grease, and install it by hand until
finger tight.
Tighten to the specified torque with a spark plug wrench (see F-6).
It is imperative that any spark plug exhibiting cracks on the insulator or corro-
ded electrodes be replaced.
