I have the Haynes manual right in front of me, somehow I just can't find the torque value for installing the spark plug. Or does tighten the spark plug hand tight, then 1/4 turn will do the job?
After my 30k service, I notice my engine have larger vibration when my clutch engage. This happened once before and my friend fixed it simply by reinstalling the spark plug. So I believe the dealer installed the plug too tight or loose.
I read about puting dielectric grease (vaseline works as well) on the plug wires, inside the boot and apply some more on the spark plug terminal.
My question is:
1. Do I need to know the torque value? Or hand tighten, then 1/4 turn will do the job?
2. Can vaseline replace dielectric grease?
3. Which side is the terminal? The side w/ or w/out the gap?
4. What is the purpose of dielectric grease?
Thanks in advance. I'm getting to know my car.
