[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 927685, member: 21394"] As far as plug torque, the spec for the FJR is just 9 ft-lbs (108 in-lbs). Using a torque wrench, I find that ensures the crush washer sets, and the torque is set. If you have the feel for that, then good, otherwise, hacks like me are better off with the wrench. Before using the torque wrench, I was seating the plug, but not getting the washer to crush, so I was seriously under-torqued. With as deep as the plug is inset into the FJR head, it seems like setting the torque properly is the "right way". YMMV. I think it's great that you have the "feel" to set bolts with out a torque wrench, but it's not something I would advocate on a forum, even if I thought it could be done reasonably accurately.
