Nothing to it. Took about 30 min. to replace 4 plugs. For 120K miles, the plugs were not hard at all to get out (I saw many people had issues on getting these out, and some where it broke off inside the chamber. Cylinder 1 had a little bit of oil, and all the plugs had a wide gap. Decided not to use a torque wrench for the plugs, and hand-tightened and gave a little more with a ratchet.

Abolish the ATF.

Also abolish the FBI, DEA, etc. They are all corrupt. Every one of them are traitors. Everything should be left the the local Sheriffs.

Paranoia is getting the better of me. I've read not to overtighten, but now reading under-torquing has its downsides to. 15 ft. lb. is the torque spec, and what I did was hand-tighten and then did a 1/8 of a turn with a ratchet. Should this be fine?

Why not just spend the few dollars for a torque wrench though? You can use it for more than just this.

You'll be fine. If it helps you sleep at night, drive it for a couple days (a week) and check them again, but you're being paranoid. Or... You could do what JNews said and buy yourself a cheapy (harbor freight) torque wrench. It'll come in handy if you ever want to rotate your own tires.

MTG is already on record as stating she's not voting for funding the DOJ in its present state.
