Which Sparkplugs to use?

Post by Corax » Tue Jan 19, 2010 9:53 pm

Hey Suba-Dudes,

Got a Brumby/EJ20 project going on and was wondering what Sparkplugs to put in it? Am going to replace them when the moter is out and once its back in I dont want to have to mess around with them for a loooong time.

Cheers,
Corax.

get NGK iridium 60,000kms they last.. Worth it but make sure you put enough grease on the thread, I forgot what type of grease it is, that you put on spark plugs.

I use antiseize on the threads and plenty of dielectric grease for the ignition wires. how'd I do? what do I win? :)

dp not used grease on your Sparkplugs as will not remove them agean as it will cook the plugs in place .
used only antiseize as thay will come out with no proloms next time and if u ever remove a bolt when u replace just put a bit of antiseize on and and u will not have a seize bolt ever agean .
when i do a engine rebuild i put antiseize on all the bolts as it stop u from striping the therad out .
and it gives it lube when u are tuque the bolts .
