Default Spark Plug Torque

I'm trying to find the correct torque for NGK Premium Platinum Plugs (Part No. PFR6Q). I know a lot of people are using these (I think these are the stock plugs). Frow what I've found, is 22 lbs correct for the torque? Thanks.

;-)

seriously-- I always tighten them until the gasket makes contact with the head, then go 1/4 turn further. Never had one come loose on me this way.

I believe you are correct: 30Nm (which is about 22 lbs?)

Hmmm, I've heard about this as well. Basically hand thread them and then give a 1/4 crank with the wrench.
