Dom, I use the T/Q spec in the FSM. If memory serves me, and usually that's not the case as I look it up before I do the change. I think it's around 19 Nms or maybe 22 Nms.
This is my first aluminum motored car so I will admit to a larger percentage of error on my part. Putting plugs in an iron head vs an aluminum head the 'feel' of the threads to me is different when bringing the T/Q to spec. I know that is preposterous, but to me the 'feel' is different in your hand from the wrench.
Anyway, all's well now and I'm back in 'love' with my girl! She ran very well on Sunday.
