Turn it with a socket until it stops, and then snug it up. But don't torque on it. You'll know when it's tight.

I agree with all, that's all I ever did, just a snug feel and all has been well.

Is that a one hand snug or a two hand snug? I think I'll stick to the torque wrench.

That's the way I did mine over 6 months ago, and they're doing fine. When I torque on aluminum, I find it best to go by feel. It gives me peace of mind. Torque specs are nice and all, but I don't need them to tighten up a spark plug.
