To torgue or not to torque plugs
I have a new set of the Champion double platinum plugs that I want to put into my 2002. Question is ... do I really need to toruqe these to 13 ft/lbs??? That means I need to go out and buy another torque wrnech ,,,, now I've installed plugs in aluminum head engines before (Geo Prizm, Hondas) and all I;ve done is to snug them down (yeah its very innacurate), but I've neved stripped the threads in the head. Truthfully, do all of you out there use a torque wrench??? I don;t really believe that my Chrysler dealership bothers. What do you think?
