If a torque wrench is not available when

of the correct torque is 1/4 ~ 1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark plug
should be tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible.

eral minutes, and then turn it off.

mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
