Recommended spark plugs

[DarkPassNger]

Doing an engine swap and figured while the engine is out............ what spark plugs do forum users here recommend?

iridium plugs work best for a stock engine. last the longest too.

Not thread jack but whats a good gap? .060? That's what most on Rockauto are showing me.

 

[Scottydoggs]

thats a factory gap. you can make em 0.55 as well. what mine are.

It's just as easy to swap them with the motor set in the bay. That way you don't hit one putting the motor back in and break one

X2, never install your new plugs till after the engine is in the bay and after the exhaust manifolds are bolted on, otherwise you'll guarantied to break at least one, or more.

Both manifolds are already on the engine ..gonna install it that way , that will decrease the chances of breaking them. Still gonna take ur advice and leave them out til i get it bolted up...better safe than another trip to a parts store

 

[Scottydoggs]

ok then, you should be safer that way. most leave the manifolds in the bay and lower the engine back in to them, thats when the plugs will break.
