My mechanic reckons i'm heavy handed and he doesn't want me to overtighten when i put new spark plugs in my 4A-GE. He wants me use a torque wrench and do them up to the correct tension.

Q. what is the correct tension?

Really? I thought it was just one of those things that the two finger rule applies?

Whatever my air ratchet does them up to for every car at work, and usually at home just finger tight and half a turn.
