gasket surface and use a new gasket.
Wipe off any dirt from the threads and
screw in the spark plug to the correct
torque.
NOTE:
If a torque-wrench is not available when you
are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of the
correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past finger-
tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the cor-
rect torque as soon as possible with a torque-
wrench.
