Frequently Asked Questions...

do we need to use the torque wrench to tight the spark plugs?

hello folks..
its regarding my 01 max and i have never changed the spark plugs on my car by myself, but i did changed the coils so i know how to get to the plugs etc, my question is..do i need to buy a torque wrench to tight the plugs or i can just use the rachet and hand tight them? please help me cuz i am on the way of getting this done today.


Answer:

Most likely the head of your engine is aluminum. Aluminum is a "soft" metal and the threads strip very easily. A torque wrench is always recommended for tightening spark plugs and is an absolute must for an aluminum head. Overtighten and you could damage the plug as well as the threads in the engine head. Too loose and the engine won't run properly. The best torque wrench to get is the kind with the "twist" adjustment because you can't overtighten with these.
You will also need a spark plug socket, 12in extension (I'll explain later), and recommend some anti seize.
The anti-seize goes ONLY on the threaded portion of the plug. Keep in mind a little goes a loooooong way. The amount you use should be about the size of 1/3 of an eraser of a wood pencil.
When installing spark plugs it is always best to start running them in by hand so you don't "cross thread" them. You can use the spark plug socket and extension to do this if you can't reach. You don't have screw them in all the way by hand, just the first 4 or 5 threads (turns). Then you can finish up with the torque wrench.
