Hand tighten 

Then 1/4 turn 

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun! 

If you have no enemies, you have no character !

Okay, so once the plugs are out, what should they be tightened to when put back in?

Ferrari's recommendation for the 308 is at 2 KgM (roughly translates to 14.5 lb-ft or 19.6 Nm). It "feels" about right for an aluminum head. Just as good for the Maserati?

       My VWs specify 15 lb-ft for spark plugs, they install directly into the aluminum head.
