RE: oil coming out of no 1 & no 5 spark plug's

Well as close I can feel, I don't have a torque wrench, Santa is giving me one on the 25th ( the wrench that is), I have always erred on the side of caution when installing plugs especially in an alloy head, maybe I am too cautious, Can't wait to get the TW though. So in essence then I need to re torque then problem solved??

Cheers

Iain

Have you been observing proper torque - 20Nm?
