True tourque of your spark plugs
What is the true tourque for your spark plugs
I have discuss this with other 8 owners,
Mazda says to tighten by hand untill you feel resistance and a half turn and the plug will be tourqed,
others say to tighten by socket until plug will not turn anymore (im sure this will work out to be an crazy amount of FPT,
and others say you tighten by hand a make a two full rotation,
What is the CORRECT tourque in your opinion?

If you have a car that uses tapered seat plugs without a washer, then "hand tight plus 1/8 (or whatever) turn more" always works.

honestly, most if not all anti-seize are electricity conductive. even if it does add a few ohm of resistance. I still will use it, cuz it's better to have less performance than a seized-up spark plug

and again, would u rather have reduced heat transfer or a dead stuck spark plug ... I take reduced heat transfer.
next time when I do my plugs (or doing it for other members) I'm gonna use a torque wrench and check how much torque am I putting to the spark plugs.
