GENERAL INFORMATION:
Table 3, commencing on page 3, lists currently available spark plugs by engine model. Additional
approved spark plugs may be found in the engines FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet and the
spark plug manufacturer's data. Inactive products were omitted from this document revision.
Refer to the spark plug manufacturer's data for spark plug servicing information and required
specialized tools. Spark plugs must be removed, cleaned, inspected, gapped and position rotated
every 100 hours. Refer to Table 2, Figure 1 and Figure 2 for spark plug rotation sequence. Always
install a new spark plug gasket when servicing spark plugs or installing new spark plugs.
CAUTION: Failure to install a new spark plug gasket on each spark
plug may result in incomplete sealing of the combustion chamber,
loss of spark plug heat transfer, spark plug overheating, possible
pre-ignition / detonation and internal engine damage.
SPARK PLUG INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install spark plugs as follows, in addition to the instructions provided by the spark plug
manufacturer.
1. Handle spark plug leads with clean, dry hands.
2. Adjust the spark plug electrode to the gap recommended by the manufacturer in
Table 3.
3. Always install spark plugs with new copper gasket.
4. Sparingly apply anti-seize to the spark plug threads. DO NOT APPLY ANTI-SEIZE
TO THE FIRST ROW OF THREADS.
5. Always use a six point deep well socket to install spark plugs.
6. Thread spark plug by hand into cylinder to within one or two threads of the gasket.
If this is not possible, cylinder head threads or spark plug threads need to be cleaned.
7. Torque spark plugs to 300 - 360 in. lbs using a calibrated torque wrench.
8. Before installing the spark plug lead terminal, wipe it clean using a lint-free cloth
moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Once dry, apply CMI Part Number 10-400533
(Miller-Stephenson MS-122AD) to the terminal insulator.
9. Ensure the inside of spark plug barrel is clean and dry.
