Default Spark Plug Question

I did a search and I could not find any information related to my question.

I just wanted to know, what is the spark plug torque rating? I have a d15b.

Thanks.

*NGK states for a 12mm plug in an aluminum head 10.8-14.5 lbs-ft.
{So 13ft-lbs is close enough...}

Hand tight + 1/4 turn is safe.

There is no way finger tight then 1/4 to 1/2 turn is going to be 10-13ft./lbs of torque. At least not on a brand new ngk. try finger tight then put a good torque wrench on it and take it to 10-13 lbs. , you will make 1.5- to 2.5 full turns on the plug because of the new washer on the plug.My friend blew a plug out of his cobra doing that 1/4 turn method.
