SPARK PLUGS

Spark plugs used in the Siren Engine are the resistor type (4S165), size 14mm. After cleaning the Spark Plugs, adjust the gap to .035 inch, using a round wire feeler gauge. Make all adjustments on the side electrode of the Spark Plug. If center electrode is bent, the porcelain may crack, resulting in plug failure. Do not drop Spark Plugs into the tubes as this may cause the gaps to close up. When installing, place a Spark Plug in the socket wrench (Figure 7) and bring the tube down over the Plug. Hold the Plug down in the tube and insert the assembly into the Cylinder Head. Tighten Spark Plugs using a torque wrench thirty (30) to thirty-two (32) foot pounds.
