I would like to amend my statement. The older (like my 5.4 in my ex-98) spec'd a plug with a nickle coating that would not seize. And they also spec'd that no anti-seize was to be used.
This engine may be different with regards to the anti-seize. I have not found what the perfect torque setting is for this engine. Anyone know? All the Motortcraft plugs spec'd for these engines have nickel-plated plug bodies. That has not changed. The factory installs them dry. As for torque, the most common figure I keep seeing is 25ft-lbs DRY. Whether or not you elect to use a tiny bit of hi-temp nickel anti-seize is up to you - just reduce torque by the usual factor (~50%).

It appears that some of the EB guys are using a torque setting of 133 in/lbs (~11 ft/lbs). |

Nice chart on that link.

Yes it does - I wonder how conservative that figure is. The 3V 's were 25-28 ft-lbs dry. So - have we confirmed that an SP-519 is iridium and not fine-wire platinum? Should say 'Iridium' on the box and and on the plug. Man - the info on this is all over the map :D EDIT - ahhh... just saw Rnlcomp's post - nice! MGD |
