Title: whats your choice of spark plug
Post by: Berlin on May 27, 2006, 11:36:40 AM

what plugs do you guys use.

I scored a box of free bosch supers but im not sure if i can use them, WR9DC they say, would they work?

Take one out and compare them. The heat range could be different. You can tell by the tip and how far it protrudes. Make sure they don't go into the cylinder farther and possibly hit the valves/pistons. After you run them a while take them out and look at the tip and check it for color. Compare to a chart for heat range. They may be too big to fit into the recess in the head with a socket. I use the recommended Bosch or Champions myself.

I believe the NGK are the factory originals.  That's what I went with.
