Spark plugs?

How tight do you tighten the sparkplugs? I am getting mine changed tomarrow and I was wandering if there is anything I must tell the person changing them?

I put mine in at 18'lbs torque with anti-seize. Some say tight plus 1/16 turn.

Anti-sieze on the first 2 or 3 threads---finger-tight against the head and then 1/16th of a turn more. Don't let them over-tighten them.

Grab the Breaker Bar.... and start beating something with it, Because changing these plugs is EXTREMELY frustrating your first time.
