[T3] Spark Plug Tightening


<x-flowed>I replaced my plugs. Turns out I had the wrong type, Bosch Platinum, instead of W8AC.

Anyway, when I replaced and started the car, it ran as if one 3 cylinders. When I removed the plugs to see if one was cracked, the front right plug gap was completely shut. Obviously, I over tightened it. I replaced with only hand-on-socket pressure, then about 1/2 turn with ratchet. Is this the proper torque?
