Homer Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The most common choices are: Iridium IK22's or NGK BCPR7E or BCPR7ES gapped to 0.80mm It's all in the FAQ's: bpu spark plugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 NGK - BKR7E (6097) These cost about £10.50 for 6 at your local Partco , they do the job . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 For those using BKR7EIX and IK22's, isn't it more cost effective to use copper plugs and swap them every 5-6k miles? I meant the iridiums normally retail for around £55, but only last 10-15k miles Iridiums: £55 a set, 15k miles = 272 miles per £ Copper: £12 a set, 6k miles = 500 miles per £ I'm not suggesting you're wrong, just interested in why the iridiums are favoured by some despite costing almost twice as much per mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 isn't it worth while using copper first to see if your getting det before you screw the engine using Iridium? BKR7E plugs £1.78 each here not vat to pay either http://www.mister-solutions.co.uk/index.asp?function=DISPLAYPRODUCT&productid=153 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you can be arsed to change your plugs all the time. Iridiums "should" last 20,000 miles, thats what they quote anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
