new spark plugs

I want to fit new spark plugs. what size gap should I use bearing in mind that I have had a gas conversion fitted

NGK BPR6ES or 7ES and keep the gap as set in the box

I never knew there was a specific pre-set gap. I have always checked the gaps on new plugs and found them inconsistent, and usually too wide, at about 30 thou.

Or Denso K20PR-U

Leave those Snake-oil Brisk LPG pugs alone. £30 a set is silly. Gas is less tolerant to iffy plugs, so cheap plugs cahnged often is better. I get 5 x Denso on ebay for £10 delivered. NGK are pricier. Gapped as they come out of the box

Different engine type to yours and a plug with a bigger hex

Egg-on-face. Sometimes the only thing to be added to a thread is silence.

I did start a thread with the plug numbers for each engine type.

As my position in the club has changed I can no longer make that a sticky or even edit the post to update it.
