Spark plug NGK or AC DELCO

So the BKR7EIXs are in and gapped to .028. Man what a difference. Everything is so much smoother and the engine doesn't feel strung out anymore.

Replace the spark plug with a genuine NGK plug.

I always get the oem brand because that works the best for your car. I get NKGs for my vw beetle

Iridium, tried and proven. Ruthenium looks like is an experiment by Ngk, I would give ti some time before these plugs prove themselves reliable before buying.

Another plug to give a try if you want to stay stock heat range - NGK's Ruthenium plugs LFER7BHX . Call it a placebo effect but after install cold start idle sure felt smoother and after 4000 miles they're running as good today as day one, gas mileage has been pretty good as well around 31 mpg +-1mpg @ 75mph. No cold start misfires. Overall a pretty solid plug for this engine and it's reasonably priced.

Brisks are throwaways that need regular attention by either regapping them every few thousand miles or replacing. You can run NGK 7437-9s for 20k in a stage 2 car without touching them. There's a big price difference so you get what you pay for.

Did my plugs 4 months ago with NGKand they still feel great.

I run NGK BKR6E's in my rabbit. I have had the best results and longest life from the NGK plugs. To the point that is all I run in any of my cars! LOVE them!

I bought six ac delco spark plugs from Rockauto and half were made in France and half were made in the US. There are very slight differences like the diameter of the electrode and how deep the plug is on the end that goes into the cylinder. Even one of the US plugs is different from the other two.

I've tried NGK's gaped at .28 twice now once as preventative maint. and again some 20k down the road out of curiosity and both times i'd miss under WOT.
