Iridium $25 each NGK copper $3 each. What do you suggest and why? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21853-plug-gap/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the originals they are pretty good. I had the NGK copper ones and I changed back to the typhoon iridium ones. The copper ones gave me a bad idle even with trying various gap sizes. Although closing the gap will give you a worse idle anyway. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21853-plug-gap/#findComment-323775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
