... and in with the new


By now you should have gapped your spark plugs correctly with your trusty feeler gauge, and they should be ready to fit. Gaps are taken from the NGK website and are as follows:
1.2: 0.9mm
1.4: 0.9mm
1.6: 0.8mm
1.8: 0.9mm
2.4: Preset out the box! Easy for you lot!

This is probably the easiest bit. Slip the new plug into the socket, and with the extension bar, not the ratchet, screw the new plug in carefully until finger tight.

Ideally it should be torqued up, but seeing as how I don't have one, I used another method. For this particular type of plug and go 1 half turn past finger tight with the ratchet. GO NO FURTHER OR YOU'LL KNACK THE PLUG AND MAYBE EVEN YOUR ENGINE!.

Once it's in and tight, carefully remove your tools and grab that pesky coil again...
