SIDE ELECTRODE

Inspect the spark plug. Replace
it if the electrodes are worn or if
the insulator is cracked,
chipped, or fouled.

Measure the spark plug
electrode gap with a wire-type
feeler gauge. Correct the gap, if
necessary, by carefully bending
the side electrode.

The gap should be:

Make sure that the spark plug sealing washer is in good condition,
and thread the spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading.

If reinstalling a used spark plug, tighten 1/8

1/4 turn after the spark

plug seats.
If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug
seats.

After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench to
compress the sealing washer.

A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the engine.
Overtightening the spark plug can damage the threads in the
