hey cindy, got the order...thanks again :thumb:


I was just curious what kind of installation process there is for putting the new plugs in??? is there a tq rating for them? any sealant or pipe thread tape needed?

If they are pipe thread, use pipe dope and thread them in snug. Start the car and tighten until the coolant stops leaking and then a touch more. I have done quite a few this way and have never had any issues. The least amount of torque the better.

i dont think you will ever have to take them out. put them in when the motor is "warm" not hot. you can burn yourself!! lol (plus its easier..)
i did finger tight plus quarter turn with teflon tape on them.

I like to use Ultra Black Permatex and go to about 10-15 FT/LBs
