Default Easy spark plug specs question

i just had the tsb done tonight and tomorrow i want to check to see first if they put new plugs in and second if they were properly torqued and the gap checked.
heres what i was planning on
gap aroun .043
torque to 18 ft. lbs.
dielectric grease on the coil contact and antiseize on the threads.

i did a search on the torque and everyone is says helms read 13 but 18 would be better, so ???

its supposed to be 18 ft lbs now. the dealer should have put a little sticker in your manual saying so.

anti-seize on the threads is not a bad thing. however, all torque values are for clean and DRY fastener threads. Everything there is non-ferrous so rust, the seize cause, is not an issue. When threads are lubed they can be easily overtorqued. I sheared a wheel stud on my g/f car by oiling the threads and then torquing to the prescribed value.
