Front Spark Plug
Hiya,
I've searched the forums to try to help, but some of the threads have been deleted, so I thought I'd try posting - apologies if it has already been covered...
I wanted to change the plugs today - the previous owner did all his own maintenance and according to the schedule shoudl have been replaced 2k ago, but I though I may as well...
Undid the front rad bolt, moved it forward to get access, got a socket onto the plug, and it was very stiff to undo - got it off in the end. Put the new one in, and tightened it up, definately wasn't cross threaded, but, it was staying the same tightness - couldnt get my torque wrench on, but didnt feel too tight. The rear was smooth, and nipped up nicely - but the front was different...
The old plug had quite a lot of crud around the thread - maybe I should have applied some wd40 to the new one???
It runs fine though - but I want to get it right - didnt tighten it too far as obviously didnt want to cross thread it.
What should I do? Leave it? Or take it out, clean it up and lube?
Cheers all.
Billy.
