I've been trying to find the proper torque to use on the Denso IK27 spark plugs in my Lycoming 363i from CubCrafters (essentially an IO-360). I read somewhere a year ago 15 ft-lbs and am trying to find my resource but also at the last condition inspection done as owner assisted the A&P also confirmed 15 ft-lbs. But I want to verify so if anyone knows the info please let me know.
I looked up the plug at the link below and in the specs it shows the torque values so I think 15-22 is correct. Also FYI they are 14mm plugs.

I do change the plugs every year, even with lean while taxiing and LOP while flying my plugs still looked like crap. For FX-3's like mine they are cheap at $10/plug. Amazon seems to be the best place to get them and I carry two spares in the plane as well.
