Default [Pics] Which Spark Plugs Would YOU Use?

Before you guys flame me, Listen to the story.

Goes a little something like this :whistling:

Bought car, blew engine up, bought motor from HMotors, ZC nonvtec single slammer..Supposedly the a6, but that's debateable.

Anyway, motor came with these spark plugs in it off of the crate:



Being unable to find the spark plugs above locally, i bought the spark plugs for a d16a6:

Sooo..I end up getting my car tuned with the spark plugs above.

But then i find A DIFFERENT SPARK PLUG on my timing cover 0_0 :

Which comes to the question, which one would you use?

I think he's asking which plug # to use. You should be fine with the ones you got. The heat range is the same as the factory calls for. The ones that were in there were a bit hotter than it calls for (the #5 vs #6).

So using the Bcpr6e's or the Bkr6e's i should be fine with either because they both have the same heat range correct?

I'm thinking i got tuned on the WRONG spark plugs= |

you should be fine with any of the above, most plug numbers a diffrient due to lenght of the thread on the plug. if it fits (not hitting your pistion while installed) you should be fine.....

but going off of the number on the timing cover is always a good route to go also.

While I don't think the plugs you are using now will do any harm, ^ is the safest option.
