Hi Guys

New to fourm,

Just wondering if anyone knows the type of spark plug for a TH magna, looked under the hood, it says
1.1 gap,
went to Repco and the rep behind the counter went on about the car having double pistons etc --WTF
(i am not mechanically minded, felt like telling him its a magna not a F1 car) so i came back empty handed.

i just checked NGK website, found it to be BKR6E-11 (front bank), can some one please tell me if this is ok to use


Thanks

3.0 L Front bank: NGK BKR6E-11, Rear bank: NGK PFR6J-11

3.5 L Front bank: NGK BKR5E-11, Rear bank: NGK PFR5J-11

Pretty sure you'll find these already pre-gapped at 1.1mm, hence the * -11 at the end. I don't think you are meant to adjust them but this is what NGK says.

"NGK do not recommend gap adjustment for precious metal spark plugs." (Platinum, etc)

"These tips are very fragile and not designed to withstand any force. As such NGK will not provide warranty for the breakage of precious metal centre electrode tips.

It is possible to adjust the electrode gap on precious metal spark plugs using an appropriate method that will not place any force on the centre electrode tip."

Put them in today, they were already pre-gapped, they sales rep had a look and said it was alright to use

Majority over the counter will be pre-gapped.
