I just removed one spark plug......insulator cracked.......gap at >.045 inch......moderately black, but not wet. These are definitely used up.

The plug is a Champion A6G. I will be replacing the plugs with NGK D8EVX, per the Plug Club. is this a good choice?

The manual calls for a gap of .023-.027 inch. Where should I set them at?

When installing plugs, I usually place a few drops of oil on the threads of the new plugs. Any better method?

What should the torque be? I have read that on a new plug, one should tighten it more, then loosen it, and re-tighten......to a slighlty lesser figure. These plugs do have washers.
