Title: TJ Sparkplug Torque Setting
Post by: Woody on May 02, 2005, 10:48:42 PM

Does anybody know the torque setting for the sparkplugs on a TJ? My Haynes manual gives 27 in-lbs but no conversion factor. My torque wrench only goes down to 30 ft-lbs and this was higher than the ones I was taking out.

Had 27 ft lbs on a couple of other forums as well so think it could be a miss print in my Haynes Manual.

Cheers for all the help
