type of spark plug for a R16

Post by peter »

I saw that the normal spark plug is a NGK B6E, but that's an very old number and I can't buy them anymore.
But what is the replacement sparkplug for our R16.
Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall,torque is how far you take the wall with you.

BP6ES should do it for you.

I think I left out an "R" in there somewhere for resistor.
Use either NGK BP6ES-11 (or BPR6ES-11 to limit radio interference).

I heart that the R is with resistance and we already have by the coil, is it not to much then.

The "-11" indicates a wide gap, only used with an EI ignition.

Go to NGKs website and they have a page that discusses codes and heat ranges.
