Abstract: A spark plug is provided that includes an improved jamb nut configuration, which provides improved torque transfer and prevents inadvertent separation of the jamb nut from the remaining components of the spark plug, particularly during removal from the engine head. The spark plug is configured for axial insertion into the plug hole, and may have a non-axisymmetric ground shield that fits into the plug hole, wherein the plug hole is also provided with a complementary non-axisymmetric shape. The spark plug includes a central insulator, which has an inner end surrounding a central electrode and supporting the ground shield, which is mounted on the insulator to support a ground strap adjacent the electrode for forming a spark therebetween. The insulator and ground shield are axially slidable into the plug hole, and the jamb nut is rotatable to fix the spark plug in position in a predefined orientation. The insulator includes a retaining clip outwardly of the jamb nut that permits rotation of the jamb nut relative to the insulator but prevents axial separation of the jamb nut during removal of the spark plug from the engine head. An improved tool is also provided which better distributes torque transfer to the jamb nut and includes a catch to facilitate pulling of the spark plug from the engine head.
