spark plug gaps/ tolerances

quattrokid · 20-01-10, 01:44 PM

in the box of new spark plugs there are 2 very thin washers.

how do I measure the tolerance gap or do i just stick them in with the 2 washers in

cheers

are you on about the crush washers that fit around the threads of the plug

I think he is on about the crush washers - should only need 1 per plug

Are the plugs 3 electrode? If so should not need setting, should have the gap printed somewhere on the box

No idear what the gap is on this ??

quattrokid · 20-01-10, 02:53 PM

imperial or metric

I'd say a good 8 inches will do

give or take half a thou

ok... the spark plugs supplied to me are NGK 1263 BP6ET' s

yes it has 3 prongs and ..............OH its only 1 crush washer then!! It has a faint line around it and first glance looked as if it was 2 !!

i can see that one a bit better, may need both washers though
