#34103, "NGK BKR5E-11 - proper gap?"


          

on a stock 420A with Magnecor 8.5mm wires, what is the proper gap for NGK BKR5E-11's? I am having big trouble with cold starts and I want to make sure I've got the right gap.

none of the above.... u have to expiriment, imo.... i used to run mine at 0.053, then at 0.050, now at 0.048..

all of our engines, although all are 420a, are all different, and will respond differently to something as vital as a spark...

i would say in between 0.046 and 0.055...would be the limits for the 7s and non turbo/nitrous applications

03 srt-4 13.130@112.47mph (n2o, stock turbo, 10/2003)
now: 20g, portfueler, bpu+++ (track/dyno times tbd...)

i farted on your wiki
