Spark Plug Information Spark Plug InformationThese are nickel/iron plugs. I decided to go with them instead of the corresponding platinum plugs due to the lower resistance and lower chance of getting a weak spark. I'll just change them every 10k miles.
Rafe Jaffey, who appears to have done some research on the topic, recommends using BKR7E, with the same gap. His reasoning is that the BKR7E-11's come with a pre-set gap of .043 (mine were at .042 out of the box) while the BKR7E's come with a pre-set gap of something closer to .038. So when you gap them as JR recommends, the BKR7E's will have a slightly more perfect electrode angle.
I called about a dozen parts stores in my area, Albany NY, and not only did none of them stock these spark plugs, but their distributors didn't carry them either. So I was SOL on the local scene.
So... HostBoard to the rescue!
10-packs of NGK BKR7E-11 spark plugs are available from Monarch Products in California. There phone number is 1-888-800-9629. They charge $18 per 10-pack.
I bought two 10-packs and the total price with shipping was about $45. These were out of stock when I first called, and they told me these plugs are pretty popular these days, so don't wait until the last minute to look for spark plugs. It took 12 days after I ordered them for them to arrive.
