If neck veins are bulging it is too tight.

Don't forget a small amount of antiseize on the threads.

I torque mine to about 15 lb-ft and, as Ronnie recommends, I slather the threads with anti-seize ... come to think, I put anti-seize on just about everything.

That's what they make stubby ratchets for.

Just don't get the anti-seize on the electrodes.

Just don't get the anti-seize on the electrodes.

'Cause the spark might fall off and get lost.

The easy to do it is to not have ant antiseize on the first two threads of the plug.
