Hello fellow fury fans,
I just fogged my engine and found that when i tightened my plugs, one of them felt quite soft and didn’t seem to want to stop turning like the others when i followed the information in the owner’s manual (1/8 turn after bottoming). So i checked the service manual and it says to torque to 13 ft-lbs. when i checked the torque again with my wrench, i clicked immediately indicating i was likely over torqued (or bang on but i doubt that lol).
I decided to replace my plugs in case they were damaged. But i found conflicting information between the owner’s manual and the service manual. The owner’s manual says to do it in 2 steps (tighten 3/4 turn after seating, then loosen and re tighten 1/8 after seating) so maybe 3 steps lol.
The service manual says nothing of this but specifies the torque of 13 ft-lbs.
When replacing my plugs, the one in question still felt soft but torqued to 13 no problem. However, i found That to get to 13 ft lbs, it took about 1 to 1-1/4 turn instead of the prescribed 3/4 turn for ngk’s of the owner’s manual. And the service manual mentioned nothing of loosening and re tightening.
i figured that the service manual was the way to go so i did just that (13 ft-lbs).
Any thoughts on this? What about the one that felt soft?
Thanks!
