For the installation of spark plugs (except 4.7L V-8 engines), first, apply a silicone-based grease, such as Mopar(R) Dielectric Grease # J8126688, to the spark plug end of the rubber boots of the ignition coil and the tops of the spark plugs. The spark plug gap can be measured and adjusted using a gap gauging tool to do the same. It should match the Spark Plug Specifications. Start the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand, taking care not to cross-thread it. Don't drop the plugs into the plug wells. This could damage the plugs' electrodes. Always tighten spark plugs to the specified torque since some torque-sensitive spark plugs are used in engine application. Over-tightening the plug will distort it, causing the spark plug gap to change or cracking the porcelain insulator. When the spark plugs are tightened, it is time to put on the ignition coil(s). Then, reattach the air filter tubing and air intake to the top of the engine and also the throttle body.
