I. What are the part numbers and plug gap for the stock spark plugs?

Frequently Asked Questions
Both the VE and VG use the NGK plug as a stock spark plug. The VE requires a platinum plug, which can run fairly expensive, at about $9/plug. I don't have the part numbers for this plug yet. The VG also uses an NGK plug, but they are non-platinum and cost just over $1/plug. Part numbers: Standard Type BKR6ES-11; Hot Type BKR5ES-11; Cold Type BKR7ES-11; Plug Gap 0.039 - 0.043 in (1.0 - 1.1 mm). Check your coolant level. this is a common problem.

Plug gaps should be set to factory specifications. Increasing the plug gap will provide negligible performance gains, while increasing demand on the ignition coil.

Should I use special spark plugs?

Toyota FAQ (frequently asked questions)
Most forum members agree that the stock Champions are just as good under most conditions as considerably more expensive plugs, including Bosch Platinums. Some have said that the "performance gains" claimed by some are due only to the use of new plugs, rather than special new plugs. The best oil is synthetic - it provides more protection during cold starts, when most engine wear occurs, and is more durable than standard oils.

How do I change spark plugs?

Toyota FAQ (frequently asked questions)
First, you'll need anti-seize compound (just a little!), and a spark plug wrench or a socket with at least one extension - six inches is usually a good length - because modern cars often have the spark plugs at the bottom of a tube. Spark plug sockets have a rubber gasket in them which helps to grip the plug, helping it to come out more easily.

Q13. What should my spark plug gap be set to?

Spark plugs FAQ
A13. Most plugs are preset at the factory and shouldn't need to be adjusted. Please refer to your owners handbook/manual for the correct gap setting. Our part finder application guides will also display recommended gap settings. If you do not have the data available then please refer to the point of sale where you purchased your spark plugs. We will always check plug gap setting data for our customers.

Your warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of products not recommended by Indmar. The operator lists the recommended spark plug for your engine.

What is my spark plug... ?

Seagull FAQ
A Champion D-16 can be used in all British Seagulls. If you have the Mk 1 and Mk 2 ignitions, then you use a gap of .020". If you have the Mk3 Wipac ignition, then your gap must be no less than .035" You should always carry a spare plug as it is the easiest fix on a seagull. Note that the very early seagulls - the 102 styles specified a gap of .015 to .018". This was due to the fuel used at the time and now a gap of .020" is recommended.

What spark plugs do you recommend? Do you recommend automotive spark plugs?

Electroair
You may use either the aircraft or automotive spark plugs. There are several hundred airplanes running the EIS with automotive plugs. Additionally, you must verify that the heat range of an automotive plug is correct for your engine or you risk causing severe damage. We prefer, however, the aircraft plugs as they have been designed to work with aircraft engines and do not require any modifications for installation.

Q14. Should I regap my Iridium spark plugs?

Spark plugs FAQ
A14. In most circumstances, no. The nature of Iridium spark plugs means that they are able to utilise a larger gap setting while actually requiring less voltage and straining the ignition system less. If you *have* to regap Iridium spark plugs then do so with extreme care. Do not use a slide type gapping tool or put pressure on the brittle centre electrode in any way as it may become damaged.
