Cylinder 1 had a little bit of oil, and all the plugs had a wide gap. Decided not to use a torque wrench for the plugs, and hand-tightened and gave a little more with a ratchet.
Paranoia is getting the better of me. I've read not to overtighten, but now reading under-torquing has its downsides to. 15 ft. lb. is the torque spec, and what I did was hand-tighten and then did a 1/8 of a turn with a ratchet. Should this be fine?
