It's a bloody spark plug.
Finger tight and 1/8th turn to 'nip' it up.
Petrol engines dont tend to run without them if you snap one off it can cost you a small fortune to get it repaired all for the sake of fitting them correctly
Yes and incorrectly tightened they strip out , snap or completely seize in place
Your finger tight , my finger tight and any other poster will be different as will a nip up depending on the strength , size and weight of the individual. Thats one of the reasons they specify torque settings
