How much torque do you need for a caravan spark plug?
The 2006 Caravan shop manual says to use 12 ft/lbs of torque for the spark plugs. That’s not much, but remember these plugs use small 14mm threads with tapered seats screwing into aluminum heads. I just did the plugs in my ’06 yesterday, using stock Champion Double Platinum.
Why do spark plugs need to be torqued?
It sucks to have a stripped out thread. Torque is one of the most critical aspects of spark plug installation. Torque directly affects the spark plugs’ ability to transfer heat out of the combustion chamber. A spark plug that is under-torqued will not be fully seated on the cylinder head, hence heat transfer will be slowed.
