    I use an air ratchet. Cross thread, or torqued to spec, tight is tight!

    Really I use a bit of anti seizure paste. lol, and snug them down by feel.

    My friend's truck would blow the plugs out of the head. Stupid ford 5.4

    We fixed that one, put JB weld on the threads, put them in and let it dry for a week. Never blew another plug out. The truck should last just as long as the plugs before its ready for the Junk yard. Truck has over 200k miles on it now.

    As for tightening, use your head. I wait for them to snug, then a little bit of a turn after that.
