Testing the Spark Plug
(See Section 12, Test Procedure 11 - Ignition Spark, Page 12-21.)
Setting the Spark Gap
1. Before setting the spark gap on a used plug, pass a contact point file between the electrodes to pro-
duce flat, parallel surfaces to facilitate accurate gauging.
2. Use a wire type gauge. Bend the outside or ground electrode so only a slight drag on the gauge is felt
when passing it between the electrode. Never make an adjustment by bending the center electrode.
Set gap (A) at .027-.031 inches (0.69-0.79 millimeters) (Figure 13-4).
Installing the Spark Plug
1. Install the plug gasket onto the plug, then install the plug and thread it in until finger tight. Tighten the
spark plug to 20 ft.lbs. (27 N-m) torque.

CYLINDER HEAD
GENERAL INFORMATION
Prior to attempting time-consuming repairs to the cylinder assembly, a cylinder compression test should be
performed using a standard compression tester. Low compression would normally indicate a problem in the
cylinder assembly such as rings, gaskets, etc. At a cranking speed of 550-600 rpm, the compression should
be 156-185 psi.
• BEFORE INSTALLING THE PLUG, CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE THREADS IN THE CYLIN-
DER HEAD. SOFTEN DEPOSITS IN CYLINDER HEAD THREADS WITH PENETRATING OIL AND
CLEAN OUT WITH A TAP.
