Re: Spark plug installation torque specific?
pretty sure aluminum. the factory plug torque is around 13 ft/lbs but i do 20 to be safe so they dont get loosened. try not to tighten any more than that.

Re: Spark plug installation torque specific?
You definitely have an aluminum head. Honda specs 13 ft-lbs and use a little anti-seize on the threads.
