[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 991963, member: 56140"] Found the specs. 25 Ft/Lbs. New plugs are in. Set the gap on the Champions at .045" (range is .040" to .050"). Not sure if Motorcraft or Autolite has 1 piece plugs or not, but the Champions are the only ones that advertise a 1 piece design so I went with them. Not a fan of Champions though, but they have a 5 year warranty and access to the plugs is awesome. I did coat the part of the plug that goes into the head (the area of issue with this design) with high temperature (2600 degree F) anti-seize. The High Temperature Nickel Anti Seize costs of money, but if it prevents future issues, it will be worth it. If you decide this is something you want to tackle yourself, get the Anti Seize ahead of time since nobody stocks it. I lucked out and found some at a Ford dealer. Back into hiding. Hope all is well with everyone. Maybe I will stop back in the next few months. Who knows. Tom [/QUOTE]
