No forced induction. I wish lol. The heads? or the spark plug? The spark plug should be 25ft/lb. The good news is that there's a tool out there to get the plug out. The bad news is that it happens so often, there's a tool out there to get the plug out.

I'd get one of those and when the cop pulls me over I'd tell him the damn lasers are misfiring.

thats pretty bad...also expensive.

I meant the factory head torque specs. I'm assuming theres 4 bolts per cylinder. Also, what kind of head gasket?

im still waiting for tires, brake pads, cv joints, and a few other things that dont ever need to be replace.

but we all know if that happens the parts company would be out of business sooner or later.

but really with all the amazing technology in the world, some things that are still used in cars today kinda makes me wonder...?

am i alone on this? or should i piss everyone off with another advice thread?

Yeah the spark plugs are about $16-$20 a piece as well. So about $150 just in spark plugs.

Oh I don't remember what the torque specs are off hand honestly. Metal head gasket.
