Can't find the torque value either. However, I've never bothered with a
torque wrench on the spark plugs. If the wrench isn't calibrated, it's
just too easy to get them too tight and strip some threads. I use a small
dab of antisieze on the threads and screw them in them until they bottom,
then just a bit more to make sure they won't back out. Never had a problem
doing it this way.
My former mechanic, however, liked to seat the spark plugs hard. Resulted
in stripped threads and a very expensive repair.
