Anyone know the torque spec for the v6 spark plugs? Going to change them this weekend.

Todd,
I am sure there is a torque value, but there is not enough room to get a torque wrench in there. Just tighten them untill they feel tight enough.

gasketed plugs you hand tighten till the gasket touches the head and tighten 3/4 a turn...
On our plugs with the taper you tighten till they touch the head and go 1/4 turn more....
Or as tom said, you get the feel for it and your good to go..

Thanks!
I'm sure Tom's right about getting the torque wrench in there anyhow.

It wasn't too bad changing the plugs on my '95 Explorer with the old OHV version of the 4L v6. I didn't even have to take the wheel off to get at the passenger side plugs.
