twobone Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Just received a set of proper plugs from the UK. The gasket shims are properly bevelled and the electrode is shorter than the others from the previous owner. Wow, my mid range just gained some serious grunt. I have to tweak my low speed as it is backfiring a bit and stumbling. Make sure you have the proper plugs.
lancylad Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Absolutely right, and also the plug gap, makes a world of a difference..
timax Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I just cleaned mine today on a 4age engine and i'm sure the exhaust sounds more raspy now?? They were a little sooty before.
lancylad Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I have a 1.6L CVH, NGK BCPR6ES plugs. Have the gaps set at 28 thou, or .8mm for the metric minded.. Gaps will be different for engine types and plug types. A bit of research and some road testing soon lets you know where you should be.
twobone Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 B8ECS NGK Lovely bevelled gaskets. Short depth. Very nice Ordered from ebay uk. 15 GBP mailed to my door for 4.
