Checking Spark Plug Torque
Well it's getting close to time to take the rig on the highways again. Although the plugs were changed 2007 the rig wasn't used for any trips last year. A bit shy after a plug blowout I guess.
Anyway before setting out on a 6000 mile trip I'd like to check the torque of the plugs just to be on the safe side. I have all the tools required and will pick up stuff for the boots.
Ok the torque is 14lb ft or 168in lb I have torque wrenches in both measurements.
Getting to the question, kind of stupid, but I want to do it right the first time. Do I just set the wrench to the correct torque and try it on the plug until it clicks or am I supposed to loosen the plug first then set it?
