plug.
Replace spark plug every 12000 km.
Cover the spark plug hole with cloth when the plug is
removed, to prevent dust / water entry.
It is advisable to tighten the new spark plug by hand till
the end and then loose and again re-tight the spark plug
by 1/8 of rotation after sealing by using only the hand
tool.
Caution

any corrosion. If found any replace the spark plug

After cleaning and adjusting the gap, reinstall the
spark plug and tighten by hand to avoid cross
