108451, BK7RE's discontinued, what are you using?
Posted by J, Jan-25-11 01:48 PM
NGK BKR7E/6097

Well I guess they've stopped making them for a couple years now, and my stash is gone & am in need of some new plugs... SOoooooooooo, what are you using these days? I see NAPA is reporting they've been 'superceded' by NGK's 4644... is this simply a change in part number or what?

They did not discontinue them - for some reason they assigned a new part number. 4644 is the correct & current part # for the BKR7E.

And if the parts guy is too dumb to look it up by 4644, you can tell them it is for a 1998 Aston Martin DB7. If you are feeling modest, say a 1997 Volvo 850 T5.

So, what are the 5553s? That's what I'm currently running in both of my cars, NA and turbo. Are these wrong?

5553 is a BKR6ES...your car will explode.

That is just the standard copper plug in a stock heat range. You can buy the V-power version for the same price (BKR6E). Either would be fine for a stock car. You could even go to a hotter BKR5E V-power without issue. In a turbo car, it would be safer to run a colder plug like the BKR7E V-power.
