[QUOTE="01vert, post: 5661431, member: 15873"] Considering alot of smaller fasteners into aluminum on harleys go by inch pounds, I would be cautous about 32 ft lbs, the threads are only 4 and aluminum is unforgiving. If this guy is talking about being a ford tech and "flying around" for tightening spark plugs, I myself would run quickly from his advice. Aluminum is totally unforgiving about high torques, and 100 ft lbs is almost guaranteed to strip a plug hole, no way is that gonna work. That and about ford techs, we have one here who some consider to total asshat so dunno about that pedigree HOLY CRAP!!! This guy wants $800 to repair 2 sets of threads! Jesus! (Oh and expenses to travel) Look on this board, many here have gotten fixes with timeserts for a ton less [/QUOTE]
