#104175, "Spark Plugs"


          

I posted a few months ago about having problems with missfire. I have since fixed the problem by gapping my plugs to about .028". First of all, this just seems like an excessively small gap. Secondly, I am curious if anyone knows the part number for the NGK plugs that come pre-gapped to .030". Mine are factory gapped to .050" and they don't perform well when they are regapped that much.

Thanks for the help.

Built block.
Refinished head.
Tuned suspension.
TURBO.

anything ngk that ends in -11 is pre gapped to .44 (1.1mm) really common for asian cars, I don't recall seeing any other suffixes on ngk plugs that related to a factory preset gap

Are you turbo? If so, you will want the gap to be lower if you are using a stock ignition setup. I have mine gapped to .28 also and runs perfect. NA and stock are around .40-.44 I believe.

I use BKR7E plugs with 8mm Accel, to regap them to .028 I would have to pinch down on them abit by hand.

Have you guys tried Bosch Platnium+4 plugs their pregapped to .030
