i'm doin a tune up on my 96 integra 2morrow can anyone tell me how many pounds of torque pressure i should tighten my spark plugs. and which are better platinum or copper?????

 

Gap them to .o43 inches, screw them in finger tight, then torque to 13 ft/lbs. Buy the NGK coppers, they are the OEM replacement. I could have sworn that in the Helms it actually says not to use the platinums. You can also use some anti-seize compound on the threads to help future plug removal.

what kinda integra do you have? is it a stock engine? gsr's and type r's come with platinum spark plugs stock. so, i would say, if you have a b18c or a modified b18b (not just bolt-ons), i would go with platinums. coppers last 30k miles compared to 60k miles for the platinums, but coppers are way, way, way cheaper than the platinums.

 

everythings is stock in the engine no mods yet.

 

i think its 156 inch/pounds (how ever its called, but not foot pouds, INCH/Pounds of torque).
