Changing my plugs on my 525 EFI, what is the torque setting? Owners manual does not say and I'm Googled out. Any advice on making this easier since there is minimal room between the headers? I'm assuming an extension on the socket, but wasn't sure if anyone had any tricks.

I'm sorry OP.
GM says 22ftlbs on plugs in their cast iron heads. Got that from my Alldata subscription
Edit: I see you mentionmed 525, so it has aluminum heads. I use copper antisieze, just a small smear on end a thread or two down from the tip side. You don't want any entering the combustion chamber.
HArd to describe. Sorry.

General rule of thumb, if they are spark plugs with a gasket, hand tight plus 1/2 to 2/3 a turn, tapered seat, 1/16 turn more.
