Most difficult installation drill is make sure you PRE crush the plug washer before you finally torque tha plugs down. Otherwise within a few trips you run a risk of compression loss or possibly having the spark plug backing out and seriously damaging your engine.
How do you pre crush the plug washer? I thought you just tighten them and they will crush themselves?
