    After searching and finding no results I am checking to see if anybody has the torque spec for spark plugs on the 488GTB? I normally don't torque spark plugs in other applications but for this I figured I would see if there was any specific torque spec out there that you guys knew of?

    They are 10Nm on a 430, so no reason not to be the same

    I would not have guessed so low. That's the torque on my cam retainers. Probably a lot of very over-torqued plugs out there.

    Thats from the workshop manual CD, the plug is only M10x1. Given how little room you have, its fun getting the torque wrench in. Plug changes are at 40000 miles on a 430 so not a regular change.
