Well, your dealing with an aluminum cylinder head so it's not much. I use a
3/8" pull handle when putting the plugs in but its overkill. Be sure to
lubricate the threads on the plug before inserting.

20-30 Nm torque is correct.
I use antiseize on the threads but i'm not going to swear blind that
it's the right thing to do. I do it because of some problems i've had
over the years in a variety of motors.
