Quick spark plug question
Hi,
Just installed new spark plugs using the guide from here (https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_228112/tm.htm).
I noticed after I installed them that I was supposed to tighten using a torque wrench after tightening by hand. I only, however, tightened by hand. I started the car - it works great.
Any potential problems by not tightening by torque wrench?

Technically, you're supposed to tighten every bolt on the car with a torque wrench, there is a spec for every single one. Rule of thumb is, once you screw in the plug and it's getting tight, turn it about 1/4-1/2 of a turn.
