CAUTION:
Handle the spark plugs with care. Do not drop or force the spark plugs into the wells, damage to the electrodes and/or porcelain body may occur. Always start each spark plug by hand in order to avoid cross-threading the spark plug in the cylinder head.

- Install the ignition coil mounting bolt and tighten to 9 N.m (79.5 in. lbs.).
