Another - related - question. When yo check your sparks after some 10,000 miles and they look as good as mine always seem to ... I put them back in with the initial torque. But of course the washer got compressed when the spark was first installed, and the torque should be increased (right ?)
Of course I wouldn't do this 5,6,7 times or more to the same spark. Now, just buying new washers for the sparks (IF you could find them) isn't worth it. So what do you do ? Not check the sparks, not re-use them, or increase the torque ?
(( user manual p.67 doesn't give torques, it quotes the old style 1/5 turn after it seats, etc. but to be honest that Honda procedure doesn't make a lot sense to me, not for old sparks, not for new. ))
