oilyhands Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Oooh, the knives are out now Arnie's VX came second.. RC8 PYPs are the recommended plug, these are platinum tipped and are normally pretty expensive but have a l-o-n-g service life, I have a couple of new sets left at a knockdown price it you would like some. Plug gap should be .030"-.035" with a high energy ignition system. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilyhands Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 .8mm = .032" approx.. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehoile Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Seems odd that there are several gaps to be recomended, but as above my local dealer advised that the spark is good and .9 or 40 thou should be ok ? When I finally got my plugs out, each one was quite different as fitted by Rover 10K back. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
