By feel.....Apply a little copper slip to the thread and tighten by feel. If you do them up to a recommended torque you could end up stripping the thread on an old ally head which could have had previously overtightened plugs in beforehand and you don't want that. :eek2 Plus they get tighter over time with the pressures of things running and you will never get them out when it comes to they next service interval.

What I mean by feel is do them up hand tight and tighten another quarter a turn. :thumbup:
