15 ftlb, though I admit that I don't use a torque wrench for this one. Don't put anything on the threads. You might want to check the gap too. Should be .030 - .032.

Nothing wrong with a little antiseeze and stock plugs and gap are best

Except the shop manual says do not use anti seize on the aluminum head. The reason I got was that it makes it easier to over torque and cross thread.

I say if it's already in, don't worry about it.

The stock plugs are coated and should not seize.

seems like the plugs were gapped already.. i decided to put a tiny bit of anti seez on it, everything went well and the car runs awesome.. before was kinda a rough idle and sometimes got a misfire NLSing @39k miles so it was due lol
