Even though most Spark plugs come pre gapped, you should double check them. Don't over tighten when putting the new plugs in, especially if you have an aluminum head.
And make sure you put the spark plug wires back in the right spot. :wings:
And with that note.... I HOPE you used some anti-seize.... if not, pull them when you have a chance, and put a little on the threads. run them in BY HAND. once they are bottomed, 1/4 turn should do the job. Hard to "tell" someone how tight they should be, its more of a "feel".......

Use a torque wrench. Remember, the torque value is based on no antisieze being used. If you put antisieze on and torque the plug to the value indicated, you will actually be over tightening the plug.
