- Using a spark plug gap gauge (1), gap the spark plugs to 1.02 mm (.040 in.) before installation.
- Start the spark plugs into the cylinder head by hand to avoid cross threading.
- Tighten the spark plugs to 28 N.m (21 ft. lbs.).

NOTE:
When installing the spark plug cables, route the cables correctly. Failure to route the cables properly can cause improper spark plug phase-shift.
- Install the spark plug cables to the appropriate spark plug location (G & K) (plug side).
NOTE:
Refer to the reference pad cast into the cylinder head cover to identify proper spark plug/spark plug cable orientation.

NOTE:
When installing spark plug cables, insure a positive connection is made. A snap should be felt when a good connection is made between the spark plug cable and the spark plug.
- Insure a firm connection is made from the spark plug cables (2) to the spark plugs.
