Lightspeed Sparkplug Wear

[Weasel]

This is a Denso W27ESR-U.

Has 250hr Tach time and has been running LOP most of its life.

Is this what I should expect to see?

Note: center electrode is showing wear. Looks rounded off. All 6 plugs look the same.

Yes, replace them. The wear looks normal for the time.That gap looks a bit large. Keep the gap within specs. Set at minimum and readjust when they hit max gap. A gap out of max will strain the coils and cause coil failure.

Normal.. as mentioned.. put iridium plugs as they don't wear nowhere near as much..

I am at 260 hrs and just did my plugs, exactly like that. For $2.50 each I will just replace every 200 hours or so. Wish the mag plugs where that cheap.

Not any more for Denso..... You might want to try NGK..... Look good so far.

What P/N NGK is used? do you just use the standard NGK or the V-power NGK or some other model?

BR8ES (standard) or BR8EIX (iridium)

Get the solid cap plugs not the screw on cap. If I remember correctly they have a different number on the box for each or they just say solid cap or screw on cap they come both ways. I use the BR8ES and change them every year, they are cheap or should I say inexpensive.

Correct.... And a 9ES is cooler.
