If you're trying to post a picture, don't use Google to host it. Upload it to Imgur. Your picture is 403'ing.

You're still trying to figure out what plugs to use 5 years later?

Post car and engine information.

Now that we have that covered, what HPH linked and said is still correct. There's nothing wrong with the plugs you have in the car now. Stick with that type, especially since you were tuned on that type.

Post car and engine information.
YES.

SOHC ZC NON VTEC.

H-Motors said the engine came out a EJ1/2 or Fierro.

It came OBD-1..

That's all that I know about the engine. Hell, I honestly don't know $hit about the engine.

It's a ZC. There are too many variants.

I missed the zc in your first post. What car is this engine in now?

Engine mods? What ECU?

Thanks. My major concern is that I'm running a colder plug than what the engine came with off of the crate.

Also, an entirely different spark plug is on the upper timing cover.

No clue. The engine is found in MULTIPLE CARS.

There is no definite answer. WIKIPEDIA is the worst place to get info a ZC..

Re-read what he's asking. He wants to know what car you have put the engine into.

Your back story --> Bumped 5 years later?

What car did you swap this engine into?

Other questions above.

H-Motors told me this is a 92-95 engine (and it has to be being that it came 0BD1).

The only info from wikipedia I see about a ZC from 92-95 is the Honda Civic EH1. And that engine is DOHC : (

Do you read anything members post in your thread? Did you actually click the link I posted?

Again, how is Wiki the worst place to find ZC information? You know this how?

My mods include:

I/H/E.. Chipped P28(Street Tuned on Chrome) & Delta 272 cam.
So ask your tuner what plugs to use.

Why did you bump this thread 5 years later?

I'll say it again. If your car was tuned with a specific set of plugs in it, stick to those plugs. Once a tuner fiddles with the ECU, what comes stock in the car no longer matters.
