i just took out the old spark plugs and was about to put the new ones in and realised they are different.


They are both NGK-Rs but the old one says: BCPR7EVX 11 (blue color)

and the new ones say: ZFR6F 11 (green color) ( given to me by honda technician )

are the new ones safe to use on the 1.6 litre non vtec?

thanx in advanced

 

should be fine if a Honda tech gave em to ya

 

I hope he didnt misunderstand me. He might of thought it was for a 1.6 litre vtec. Mine is more the ZC engine that came out on the civic Si 1992-1995 EG hatch models. Its got a black rocker cover.

 

why not just call the dealership with the part number of the plug and make sure its right?

K

 

they are all closed and i already have the old ones out. Is it safe to put the old ones back in and drive there tomorrow? Its all black and yucky.

 

Clean the old ones, and put them back in for the time being.

 

just with water or something else?

Did u throw the old ones out already? I don't see how it could hurt u that badly....but if ur that concerend about it I would make sure they're the same size and only drive it tomorrow and call the dealership AS SOON as they open and change it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE....but u can prolly deal with the old ones for now..until you get clarification on the other ones...but like I said..I don't think it'll make a difference, I mean ur not drag racing or anything, it's a air tight chamber with a spark, the explosion really can't change....it's the same ammount of chemicals u can't detonate them differently....I doubt it wouldn't be fine as long as they're the same width and fit in the holes (and most of them are (5/8 I believe)) --- But u should be alright

 

Hit the ends of them up with scotchbrite or steel wool. It will polish all the carbon build up and put them back in.

This is what I found doing a search for that part number. Seems those were for H and F series in the accord and prelude.

^ yeh i searched them on google too, doesnt look like its for the Si engine. Only the Vtec ones.

 

yeh they do look similar. Dont really want to risk it tho.

 

does your engine not have the spark plug label on the timing belt cover? if so it should be listed there what it needs.
