2.
Use a gapping tool for spark plugs or a feeler gauge to
measure the gap between the side electrode and center
electrode (Figure 56).
3.
If the gap is not within the specified range, do the
following:
A.
If the gap is
too small
, carefully bend the side
electrode
away
from the center electrode until
the gap between the electrodes is 0.7 to 0.8 mm
(0.028 to 0.031 inch).
B.
If the gap is
too large
, carefully bend the side
electrode
toward
the center electrode until the
gap between the electrodes is 0.7 to 0.8 mm (0.028
to 0.031 inch).
Installing the Spark Plug
Important:
Ensure that the gap between the side and
center electrodes is correct before installing the spark
plug.
1.
Thread the spark plug clockwise into the spark-plug
hole by hand.
Note:
Avoid cross-threading the spark plug with the
threads of the spark-plug hole.
2.
Rotate spark plug clockwise using a 13/16 inch (21
mm) spark-plug wrench until the plug and sealing
washer are seated (Figure 55).
3.
Tighten the spark plug as follows:
•
When installing an
in-service
spark plug, tighten
the plug an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn.
•
When installing a
new
spark plug, tighten the plug
an additional 1/2 turn.
4.
Push the spark-plug wire onto the terminal of the spark
plug (Figure 54).
