Hi Guys,
Just wanted to check the condition of my NGK UR4 spark plugs that were installed about 2 years ago when I noticed that the middle spark plug on the passenger side was completely loose. I removed it with my hand, no tools required. Stupid question but does this happen or was the "mechanic" who installed the plugs forget to torque it in place? I pretty much tightened all the plugs after that except for the rear plug towards the firewall on the passenger side. I did not have enough space with the the sparkplug socket, extension and ratchet. Any Ideas on how to get to this one? What is the right torque for the plugs 20lbs/ft? I did not torque them with a torgue wrench, just used the same amount of force for the ones I had access to.
By the way is there a diff gasket for an 87 GN and what is the GM part number? Is one needed or just silicone is fine? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
