Hi folks I'm asking for help, as I've yet to check my spark plug tightness and I don't yet own any spark plug sockets-

Can someone please tell me what size spark plug socket to buy?

Thanks!

FYI I checked the Helms manual and it didn't help...

Sideways

5/8 inch. It is very helpful to have a plug socket that has the foam or rubber insert to hold the plug inplace in the socket.

Much appreciated dude-

Also, get an extension that locks on to the socket and has a button to release. The typical extension is spring-loaded and will release the socket when pulled. However, the plug may be recalcitrant and you don't want to fishing for your socket inside the valve cover
