When tighting the spark plug back in, how do I know how much torque to tighten it if I dont have a special tool?

They don't require a special tool on their cars to prevent overtightening.Originally posted by Bill Fuller
I forget the price but I believe it was around $10.As for fit and design,they want you to use thier tool so you don't put a rachet and socket on the plug and over tighten it causing even more frustration.I'm not trying to get into an argument here I just think that a person like yourself who has hade so much wrench time on a Honda product would appreciate Honda designing a simple tool to save you a bunch of *****ing when you pull the threads out of the motor because of over tourqing the plug.

The manual says to tighten the plug 1/8 turn after it sets.

It was a pain in the arse for me to get the spark plug out too, so I just went and spent 6 bucks (yes i got the wrench for for 6 bucks) and now its so simple a monkey could do it. You dumber than a monkey? lol

Tip: Use the stock tool and put a small piece of weatherstripping up inside the hole. It gets hot in there and this will grab the plug.
