mk2 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Plug gap isn't critical. Anything from 0.6 - 2mm will work. Guaranteed. Its all a myth.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 @mk2ever hammered a spark plug ? I did on an old Peugeot, god knows what the gap was when I was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yeah, just give it a tap, but dont go mad or the earth electrode falls off into the engine.... no one wants a bit of metal bouncing around in a cylinder. Do a test and see how big a gap the spark can jump- about 30mm on a dry day (screwdriver to block). But the compressed fuel air mix does block the spark to an extent, so i generally max out at 2mm even with a high compression engine.

wrxfifer Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 thanks for the input guys but really wasint wanting to just fire them in with anything up to 1.5mm out possibly, a was thinking 0.9mm but again thats just a guess from what i read on the internet which is basically zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yup 0.9 mm will be fine. 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
