The NJK brand spark plugs should be BKR, BRK or something similar to that for the BFs, not FR16 like the BAs. The coilpacks are easy to replace. Make sure you buy genuine Ford coils as the aftermarket ones aren't as good. Edited 28/04/13 03:49 AM by _Velocity_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonno Member 79 Member For: 18y 6m 13d Posted 29/04/13 10:13 AM Author Share Posted 29/04/13 10:13 AM What is the best brand and version of plugs that I should buy (Please be specific)?And they should be gapped to .8mm? What does Ford recommend, and if it is other than .8mm what benefit will changing to this figure bring?Sorry for being pedantic, but I haven't worked on any car for ages. However being constantly screwed over by expensive mechanics who claim greatness but offer incompetence and mediocrity, has forced me back on the tools.By the way, does anyone know where I can get a BF workshop manual that includes the XR6T? There is BA version on CD on ebay for $7 but would prefer the BF if it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonno Member 79 Member For: 18y 6m 13d Posted 29/04/13 11:17 AM Author Share Posted 29/04/13 11:17 AM So if I am leaving it standard I should gap the plugs at 1.1mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IFR6T11 or FR6EI-11 Edited 29/04/13 11:35 AM by Paulie2256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonno Member 79 Member For: 18y 6m 13d Posted 29/04/13 10:50 PM Author Share Posted 29/04/13 10:50 PM I checked the manual that came with the car and it specifiesa gap of 0.9 mm. So for the moment what gap do I set, 0.8, 0.9, or 1.1mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know. I think you will be right with either. Edited 30/04/13 02:41 AM by Paulie2256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
