hmm...i hope it dosnt matter, when i changed the plugs i just tightened em as much as i saw fit and so far no problems, my dad says as tight as you think they should be as long as youre not "bending metal"....i hope that helps.....or you can wait till someone who knows what theyre doing comes along

(that means dont trust me, im an idiot)

Always remember, use anti-seize on all spark plugs! Stainless Steal threads on plugs and Aluminum threads in the heads tend to "seize" and if you tighten too much, you could easily break the porcelyn.
