I have a Ford Expedition that was purchased new and is just now turning over 100K miles. So, I want to replace the plugs and coils. After much reading and research I feel I can do the job and I am ready to begin; except for one detail. The Ford manuals and most individuals online state that the correct torque for the spark plugs is between 80 and 168 inch pounds (7 – 14 ft/lbs). I just recently purchased a torque wrench to ensure the plugs were torqued properly. Then I come across a couple of online sites that state the torque setting is not enough and has been changed to 24-30 ft/lbs.
Which is correct?
Has this spec been changed from what the Ford manuals indicate?
Does anyone know what torque setting a Ford mechanic uses on routine tune-ups?
Thanks so much!
