Default What SPARK PLUGS are you using?

I am thinking about getting new spark plugs soon. Just wondered if anyone have great experiences to share.

Can you please also provide, Car model, engine, mods and GAP please

I have no idea what my car's cap should be.

I have 96DX motor with CAI installed
4-1 headers waiting to be installed, and MSD 6A waiting to be installed,.

Thanks for the help

I just ruined a set of brand spankin' new Zex plugs. Installed yesterday, wasted yesterday, along with my motor

I think Bosch platinum is good for all-motor, it's only $1.99 each at Kragen. If you're rich, get the Bosch +4

should you run Accord plugs if you have a hybrid because they "run cooler"? going by here-say here, i over heard two people talking about this the other day.

I have no idea what my car's cap should be.
I dont' know but I'm pretty sure (i'll have to check again tomorrow) the spec for the spark plug gap is on the underside of the hood... just look on the stickers...
valve adjustment specs I know are there...
pretty sure spark plug gap is there too...


oh and I'm using NGKs... don't know the gap size off hand tho... sorry.

IMO NGKs are then only way to go on N/A Hondas.

platinum is less conductive than copper and iridium is suppose to be a better conducter than copper.
the thing about platinum is that you dont have to change them often and lasts longer but the spark is not that intense.
ill just stick to my ngk vpower
