          Should not that be "sore" instead of "sorry"?

            Grease? Never used it.

            Torque wrench? Never used it.

            Put the new plugs in by hand until snug, then tighten maybe 1/4 turn. You dont need much muscle to tighten plugs. And be careful putting the socket onto the plugs, porcelain/ceramic exterior can crack pretty easy. New plugs made for your specific engine should already be gapped but its wise to gap at least 1 plug to make sure and then visually compare the other plugs to the one you checked.

              Five out of eight completed, I need to remove the air cleaner to have any chance at the other three, that happens tomorrow.

              I decided to use the grease -- it should keep the moisture out if nothing else. Thanks, guys.

              The torque wrench in question is a Craftman beam type -- the kind with two parallel bars, which measures the torque by measuring how far the main bar bends.

              The reading was...erratic, and I was afraid I was about to strip the threads trying to hit the mark. After that, I decided to go with the "half turn after hand tight" recomended on the box the plugs came in.

              Is there such a thing as too much anti-sieze compound?
              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                Surely, you must be mad, Monk.


                How long have you been waiting to post that?

                      Yes. That, combined with me getting out of my computer seat, makes this one giant leap for me

                        I once had a vehicle where the shop had to soak the spark plugs in a solution overnight before they'd even budge.

                              Berz - thanks, as I said, I couldn't remember if it was a quarter or a half turn.

                              Mad Monk - those beam type torsion bars are drekh. A good click type is MUCH easier to use, and more accurate. Mine is also a Craftsman, and it's one of the best purchases I ever made.

                                Yeah, I should pick one of those up, less frustrating.
