If you are using a torque wrench rated to go up to 100 ft-lbs, then don't use it to torque anything less than 20 ft-lbs.

I was relieved and all until I turned it on an seen a bit of white smoke come out of the pipes and some by the engine. I'm thinking it was that spray I used to soak the thread, After like 30 seconds of the car running the misfire started all over. It's giving me combustion misfire on cylinder 1 and that's the one that had the broken spark plug. I'll check it out tomorrow and see whats up.
To answer your question about the torque wrench, I used one from harbor freights that a friend let me borrow at 17lbs. That's the one that broke it. This time I just used a ratchet.
