Spark plug torque value??
Changing plugs in my car......they are in there very tight.....is there a torque specs for these being an aluminum motor? Or did my tuner just put them in to tight?

First, is the engine cold?...must be completely cooled down before taking out the old plugs. Torque new plugs to 11 ft.lbs. No anti-seize if you're using NGK iridiums.

They should provide a little resistance at first. Once broken loose they will be super easy unless they are cross threaded or were over tightened.
How many miles since they were installed?

Does hurt to "toothbrush off" the plug threads? (not wire)
