NO. tighten them to 14 ft lbs unless you want them to blow out and strip the threads.

+9999

And make sure that is ft lbs and NOT inch lbs!!!
Easy mistake to make.

Personally, I use the Morotcraft AGSF-32C plugs on my 2004 because I like copper and these ones have the longer thread count on the body.
They make them in platinum as well, which is stock, but I'm an old copper fan myself :D

well i check all the plugs and they all came out to about .030.......so how do i gap them?

RE: Spark plug tech help
 

Gap 'em to about .054 inches. If you're taking them out, may as well put new back in.

14 ft lbs is about just that...snug. Most individuals do not own a tourqe wrench, although they should. You gap them using a spark plug gapper....same thing you measured them with most likely.
