INSPECTION AND CLEANING
1. Disconnect the spark plug cable from the spark plug.
NOTE: Pull on the spark plug cable boot when removing the spark plug cable, not the cable, as it may be damaged.
2. Using a spark plug wrench, remove all of the spark plugs from the cylinder head.
CAUTION:
Take care not to allow contaminants to enter through the spark plug holes.
3. Check the spark plugs for the following:
- Broken insulator
- Worn electrode
- Carbon deposits
- Damaged or broken gasket
- Condition of the porcelain insulator at the tip of the spark plug.
4. Check the spark plug gap using a wire gap gauge and adjust if necessary.
Standard value: 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.)
5. Re-insert the spark plug and tighten to the specified torque. If it is overtorqued damage to the threaded portion of cylinder head might result.
Tightening torque: 20 - 30 Nm (204 - 306 kg.cm, 15 - 21 lb-ft)
