i was wondering if spark plugs should be torqued to a certain ft lbs or not, i have a fuji 488 fan cooled and the spark plugs are BK9ES i think, what amount of ft lbs do these need to be torqued too? (as in a torque wrench) or doesnt it matter? thanks!:plane:

I'm sure some guy will come on and tell you that it makes sense to torque spark plugs but I just snug them up with the spark plug wrench. Hand tighten w/o cranking to hard. Does that help?
