Hello to all :

Does anyone know what the torque specs are for the spark plugs
in the '01 Lightning.

Thanks
Dave

Spiro,

That's the same spec I use, LOL.

I think you would have a buttload of fun getting a torque wrench on some of the plugs anyway.

 

If my memory serves me, wich it usually doesn't.
I think its 12 ft. lbs. for tapered seat plugs in aluminum but I think that was a generic number not specific to the triton motor.

These motors only have about 4-5 threads for the plugs to get a hold of, so I wouldn't over do it.

I would say about hand snug and a 1/4 turn.

 

Lightning Boy,

Now thats a reply that makes sense

(Torque is 16-20nm)

 

1. Borrow "ole lady's" make up mirror.

2. Position aforementioned mirror on top of Supercharger, with full faceview of your mug.

3. Attach 16" round tube over wrench handle.

4. Grasp round tube, and apply a large amount of clockwise rotation to plug.

5. Stop when you see large arterial "V" appear in forehead, or, first sign of hemorrhoidal protrusion, whichever comes first.

6. Repeat as necessary.
