5.Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if the electrodes are worn or if the insulator is cracked, chipped or fouled.

6.Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a wire-type feeler gauge. Correct the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending the side electrode.

The gap should be:

0.028－0.031 in (0.70－0.80 mm)

0.028－0.031 in

(0.70－0.80 min)

7.Make sure that the spark plug sealing washer is in good condition, and thread the spark plug in by hand prevent cross-threading.

8.After the spark plug seats, tighten with a 13/16-inch spark plug wrench to compress the washer.
