Ok, so my completely rebuilt b16 is misfiring. Since everything is new, im thinking its the spark plugs, because I have not gapped them, this could be it right? What is the gap for b16's?? Also I heard that you should use a torque wrench for spark plugs, I think I will, but can anyone tell me the torque specks for spark plugs?
thanx

 

First, the spark plugs, if purchased for any honda with the b16 motor from the factory (99-00 SI, Del Sol Vtec), should already come gapped...
If you need to gap them I think it's like .048-.054 or something...
Check your wires too...
Yes the spark plugs should be torqued with a torque wrench, however if you know what you are doing then tightening them to "mechanic's tight" will work... If you are not familiar with working on your own car, then for sure use a torque wrench... Yo DO NOT want to strip out the threads on an Aluminum head!
Do you have a haynes/Chilton??

 

I have the Helms online... its kind of harder to use than the actual book

 

Anyone know the actual torque specs for b16 spark plugs??

 

Anyone? I need them soon ^

 

Pull the plugs to see whether they're actually misfiring. Your other thread talks about hydrolocking 1 or 2 cylinders with gasoline. So there's more going on than just a misfiring plug.

I'm not sure about B16, but a typical spark plug torque is about 13 or 15 lbf*ft.
