Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this spark plug come pre-gapped?

While NGK plugs are often preset, you should always check the gap against your vehicle's service manual before installation.

Can I use this in my lawnmower?

Compatibility depends entirely on the engine manufacturer's specifications. Always compare the thread size, reach, and heat range to your current plug.

What does the 5 kOhm rating mean?

This indicates the plug has a built-in resistor to suppress electromagnetic interference with your vehicle's sensitive electronic components.

How often should I replace these?

Iridium plugs are designed for extended service intervals, but you should follow your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule.

Is the SAE connector removable?

Yes, the top connector nut is unscrewable to accommodate different styles of spark plug connectors.

Troubleshooting

Engine misfire after installation

Ensure the ignition coil boot or spark plug wire is pushed firmly onto the SAE terminal until it clicks.

Difficulty starting the engine

Verify the spark plug gap is set to your vehicle manufacturer's specification, as some plugs may need minor adjustment out of the box.

Excessive carbon buildup on the tip

Carbon fouling often indicates an overly rich air-fuel mixture or a cooling system issue; have your fuel injection or carburetor system inspected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iridium material offers a significantly longer service life than standard nickel plugs
  • Improved throttle response due to more consistent ignition
  • Easier cold-starts thanks to high-performance sparking capabilities
  • Built-in suppression prevents radio and sensor interference
  • High-quality construction ensures reliable operation under extreme temperatures

Cons

  • Higher initial cost compared to standard copper-core spark plugs
  • Requires careful handling of the fine-wire iridium tip to avoid damage
  • Not intended for every engine type; must check cross-reference charts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always be performed on a cold engine to prevent stripping the cylinder head threads. Use a 16mm hex socket specifically designed for spark plugs to avoid damaging the ceramic insulator. When installing, tighten the plug until the gasket seats, then apply the manufacturer-specified torque—typically an additional 1/2 to 2/3 turn for new gasket-seat plugs. Periodically check the plug for carbon deposits if the engine has been running rich. Do not attempt to clean the iridium tip with a wire brush, as this can destroy the fine-wire precious metal.
