one more thing, they should drop right in right, cause they are not under b18c, but i guess b18c is specified as n/a not t or s.c.

Oops, sry about the typo. BKR7E-11s drop right into B18cs... but for turbo applications the .40-.44 gap thoase 11s come with is too big. Regap to something closer to .30.

yea i just gaped them to about .305 and does the curve have to be flat with the gap cause mines is slanted where the gap there is exactly .305mm. i just put them in and it mis fires every other cycle. put my duel platinums back in and ran fine. any suggestions?

There any difference in the gapping between the 2 that are missing and two that are firing. Doesnt make much since to me. Sounds like something isnt connected right.

Use a gapping tool and then tap the plug down softly. Mine tend to end up a little slanted but work just fine.

Can you snap a picture of the plugs? Closeup of them would be useful.

i gapped to .012 or .305mm and everyother cylinder would mis fire, seems like barely any room to spark. so i gap to the bigger .03 or .763mm and ran fine all except sparks doesn't seem powerful at high rpms like my duel platinums. is the gap correct?
