wild_one Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I've had a 'skim' around and couldn't find what I'm looking for. I would like to stick some plugs in my 2009 1.6 zetec S. As usual there is a selection of possibilites on the parts sites. Could someone point me towards an online source that gives a definitive plug choice regardless of the Manufacturer?

Yeah, the big box shifters like ECP etc all have a selection of plug options. I was wondering what the ‘definitive’ correct plug is? And gap?

Bobr Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think the gap is 0.7mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild_one Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 So, the Ford manual says 0.7-0.8mm gap and torque to 15nm. The NGK plugs are gapped at 1.1mm and tightened hand tight then 2/3rds of a turn? Should I reduce the gap or leave the plugs as they came in the box?

Frembrit Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 What is the part number for the NGK plugs? If there is a number on the end then it means the gap is preset. Gaps would be different depending on the manufacturer. The NGK catalogue lists TR5B-13 or LTR5IX-11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
