13-15 ft/lbs with beam style wrench. not tight at all and actually they get very loose all the time. so its good to retorque them whenever you can maybe once a month.

once there snug another half turn and you should be good to go.

disclaimer: thats the way I have done it on all of my hondas and have no problems what so ever use at your own risk

Yeah, it was, you could have had the answer in 4 seconds rather than sit around waiting for someone to spoon feed it to you.

Is it a good idea to use Anti-Seize or Never-Seize on the threads of the spark plugs? The head is aluminum right?

How about using dielectric grease in the COP boots?


Thanks,

thats not the right way to do it, and i wouldnt use any of those grease things either. just dont overtighten and you wont have a problem

Install them dry. Antisieze changes torque specs.

Install dry...it is!

I know that the OEM Honda brand spark plugs come properly gapped, but it is always a good idea to check. So...what is the proper gap?


Thanks!

im just guessing but .044 sounds familiar. check owners manual

Its more or less irrelevant what the gap is, .044 is correct, but unless you're using copper plugs, leave the gap alone, platinum and iridium electrodes will crack off if you regap it too much, and they're usually set where they need to be.
