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.
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?
