cracked insulator = torquing at an angle
stripped aluminum head = overtorqued


glad you learned Bryce

If one of 'em is cracked you'll feel it. The tips on the plugs that the wires snap on to aren't always screwed on tight. A loose one can cause problems as well. Always check the gap, you never know who threw 'em on the shelf or dropped 'em on the floor before they handed them to you.

Just FYI. I have two sets of TR6's. I just checked the new set I have and they are set at .38.
