Hi
I'm installing new plugs (NGK 5542/PFR6T-10G) in my 06 9-3SS 2.0T after doing a compression test. The compression test page in the WIS says to fit the plugs at 20 Nm (15 lbf ft) and the coils at 8Nm (6 lbf ft). But the WIS page for spark plug replacement says fit the plugs at 28 Nm (21 lbf ft), the coils at 20 Nm (15 lbf ft) and the ignition coil cover at 8 Nm (6 lbf ft). The B207R engine isn't listed in the WIS technical data page (B207E/B207L tightening torque is given at 28 Nm/21 lbf ft).
I know I'm overthinking this a bit but it seems like this is just a simple WIS typo? So the correct torque for a B207R is the same as B207E & B207L w/ the 5542 plugs and is 28 Nm (21 lbf ft)? The manufacturer page for those plugs gives a torque range of 18-21.6 lb. ft. for an aluminum head.
Thanks
