    NGK plugs work perfectly in this engine.

    However, NGK & Bosch (the FoMoCo plug) are standard plugs.

    Personally I'd use Denso Nickel TwinTip - TV16TT

    Ford OE Number: 1787829

    Bosch: 0 242 236 633 (HR7 MEV)

    NGK: 4559 (TR5B-13)

    Denso: T16VR-U10

    Above are all STANDARD plugs. Below are uprated plugs:

    Denso: TV16TT -Nickel TwinTip

    Denso: ITV16TT - Iridium TwinTip

    The Ford service interval of 37,500miles/3yrs is daft for standard plugs. If using standard then renew every 20,000miles at least. Iridium is fine for 30,000miles

    A final thing.

    The reason NGK may cause issues is that they have a 1.3mm gap - if the engine/ignition system is not running 100% you may have slight misfires. But, if not, the engine will be slightly more economical (teeny tiny amount)

    OE Ford/Bosch have 1.2mm gap

    Denso run 1.0mm gap and will last longer and be more reliable.
