Default HKS S35i Problem.

Hi,

I just bought a set of HKS S35i Iridium plugs for my R.

When i went to install them i dropped one of them !!

Now the tip of the plug is touching the 'metal arc'...i straightened it a bit up but i noticed that a little tiny part if the tip is gone !!

Do you think it is safe to use this plug pls?

Will it hurt my engine in any way?

Pls help me guys.


rgds,

Is it ok too buy just one plug or is it better to replace them all to have a new set?


The other plugs have no damage.

It needs to be gapped correctly, and then it would work fine.

BUT, think of the damaged piece breaking off and floating about in your combustion chamber.

If you can't find an HKS for a while, just pick up some NGK's

EDIT: just saw your 2nd post, buying one plug is fine..
