Default extended tip SPARK PLUGS, will they work?

I had some bosch ******** in that were frozen over so my car wouldnt start. I have some brand new NGK ones that are ZFR5F 11 I presume there for the B16 engines, desol/civic si. and the 11 is for the 1.1mm gap.

They are 'extended tip', are they all extended tip? ive never changed my spark plugs because i havent owned the car that long and i dont know what normally is supposed to go there, i just know bosch is junk.

Will my piston hit these?

Thanks!

-Eric

compare them with your old spark plugs. then put em in and turn the engine by hand. if it turns over fine then they should work. although you should get new sparkplugs as soon as possible or figure out if the extended tip ones wont do any harm

turn engine over by hand?

reef on some belt?

the Other ones where about 3mm shorter.

Does the piston even come that close to the spark plugs?

The piston comes pretty close to the spark plug yes, that close no. I dont know exactly how tal the combustion chamber would be but 3mm would not hit your piston I dont think.

Just to be safe though crank it by hand
