STFA's carefully, as there is a ton of mis-information.

Best bet is to check the gap of your plugs coming out, and gap the new ones the same (assuming you have not had issues, etc. As for torque, I'll try to check the bently for you...

Stock gap is 0.028" (I've measured).

IIRC, the torque spec for the plugs is 22 ft-lbs, but I ususally just torque mine to "tight enough".
