These are AC Delco 41-601 plugs, no gasket. Should I torque them to
some spec, or tighten them 1/2 turn after seating, or what?

TIA

I'm sure there is some torque spec. For 25 years I've snubbed mine up-
never had any problems.

I always change my plugs on my aluminum block when its cold. Also, put tiny
amount of antilock on threads and snug up. Cold block issue is very imprtant
on aluminum!!

Steel head motor, but cold is still better, a torque wrench is tough here
25, psi would be about right, use past experience judgement here, the cover
snaps open must pry on the edge some. For exact specs, check
