Andrew,
Received my BKR's today (on the doorstep). Thanks very much for organising the GB and sending the sparkies to me. Now I need to buy a decent set of leads to match :-) Christopher |

hey just a quick question - i'm planning to install the plugs myself, dealer is booked out, service scheduled mid Feb - the question is, after the plug is screwed finger tight, should i continue 1/16 of a circle or 1/2~2/3?
on the package there is this illustration, with both 1/16 and 1/2~2/3 mentioned in step 2 and it's very vague i don't quite get it. thanks.

according to the pics, 1/2-2/3, however i never do it up that tight. i'd only ever go 1/4

go a 1/3 - thats what i've always done, as tightening too much can lead to cracking of the ceramic core
reason i say 1/3 is because you normally overtighten the plugs when they are so deeply inset like on our cars, as the difference between tight and spinning is nothings, as your socket is jammed in the core hole

hey i put the plugs in today, it feels silky smooth! thanks twilight!
i tightened slightly more than 1/2 turn after finger tight. i still wonders if anti-seize grease and dielectric grease are necessary.

Quick question: How cold should the engine be when putting the plugs in? I was a bit impatient today and put them in when the engine was still slightly warm... the valve cover was cool enough to touch by hand, but the plugs were still quite hot.
I torqued the new plugs to 20 ft lbs, which was around 1/3 turn after hand tightening. Is this is ok? Or should I retourqe them tomorrow morning? |
