OK, it's not a Nissan, but what better people to ask eh? It's a 94 Toyota Tercel with the little I-4 in it. Anyway, the #1 spark plug keeps backing out and getting lose on me. this is the 3rd time now. Over time I can eventually here it ticking loud which means it's time to tighten it up again. :rolleyes Anybody know why this thing would keep backing out on me? I'm not having problems with the other 3. It's tightened to beater specs (hand tight withough stripping hehe).

Does it have a crushable washer on it? If so, those need to go another 1/2 turn past hand tight.
