for spark plugs in a mod motor (4.6 SOHC). I don't want to have spark plugs shooting out after I change them.

Hang on, I'll check.

My Ford Service CD says 13 lb-ft....sounds kinda low to me.

Actually that sounds about right. are there any special instructions (anti-seize, install on cold engine,etc.)?

I checked again and No they don't say anything special. "Installation is reverse of removal". I use a little anti-seize on mine.

You should always (IMO) use anti-seize on plugs that go into aluminum heads, prevents head-aches later on.

di-electric grease on the ends of the spark plug boots is about all you need to do other than the anti-seize.
