torque specs?

[youngcruiser]

Im swapping out my ignition coil, wires, and plugs. does anyone know the torque specs for 2004 n/a plugs? intake manifold? and is there anything else i need to know before i do this supercool project?

Save your money on the coil - the stock one is fine.

thank you for the tip. since you have so much experince in this field maybe you can help me with my orginal question.

13 foot lbs. 105 inch lbs for the intake manifold. tighten in this pattern:

5 3 1 2 4

Good luck!!!

Gap your plugs at .042in vice whatever you've read somewhere else. Use dielectric grease on the plug ends and anti-seize on the plugs themselves.

What QSD said about the coil is correct. The stock coil puts out more than enough for the PT, a little higher voltage won't do anything.

cool thanks, just one more question 5 3 1 2 4?

That's the tightening sequence for the upper to lower manifold bolts
There are 5 bolts and "1" represents the center bolt.Start with that one and then 2 and so on.

cool thanks for all the help. Ill let you guys know how awsome the project went when i am done.

For bolting together plastic manifolds and putting plugs into alloy heads, you might have to invest in new torque wrench that is accurate in the 10 ft-lbs range.

I sprung for a nice one that clicks and everthing.

But the new one is -shiney-.

(I figure the price of the new tool is about what it would cost me to pay someone else to do my plugs and wires... And I only had to buy the tool once.)
