[Healeys] Spark plugs renewal

[Tom Felts]

The reason I asked is that I was told .035 which seemed a bit too large a gap for some reason.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Spark plugs renewal OK Steve – I’ll bite:  What caused the change from Champion RN12YC to NGK BP6ES?  Your having kept the Champions in for over 46,000 miles would usually lead to conclude you had a good to great experience with them. On the other hand, to change brand after all that time and mileage would seem to indicate just the opposite!

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Spark plugs renewal Nah.  I usually pull them once a year for inspection (removing for valve check/adjustment and compression check anyway), clean and re-gap as necessary, then keep on truckin' until next time.   No reason to do it more frequently as long as the engine is running well.  I currently have 12,411 miles on a set of NGK BP6ES plugs installed new in October 2012.  I got 46,500 miles out of the previous set of Champion RN12YC.

Subject: [Healeys] Spark plugs renewal I see that the BMC manual suggest replacing the plugs every 12,000 miles, they having been checked every 1,000 miles per the same book. Do you guys hold to that approximately? By that I mean…..all things being equal and the plugs looking OK & working OK, only swap at +/- 12,000 miles.  Maybe plugs last longer these days? Most things don’t in my experience. For what it’s worth, I’m running NGK’s BP6ES. As to the gap, I’ll leave that can of worms closed for the while! Thanks,Simon
