NGK CR9EIA-9 Spark Plug

Product Information

Superior materials - Many use precious metals such as platinum or gold/palladium for greater durability and lower voltage requirements A typical copper spark plug will last around 20,000 miles and most get changed at a major service (usually around 16,000 miles) but an iridium spark plug will be good for around 50,000 miles and you do see people running them to 100,000 miles with no issues. Torque the spark plug up to your manufacturer’s recommended settings. If you don’t have a torque wrench, then get the plug hand tight and then add a ½ turn for a plug with a gasket, and more like a ¼ turn for a tapered spark plug. Over-tightening can snap the spark plug – a nightmare. Insulator configurations - Special configurations are used for the insulator noses to improve throttle response

NGK is the brand leader in the UK spark plug market and is the world's biggest supplier to most motorcycle and car manufacturers.

Their plugs can be found in use by teams in F1, WRC and MotoGP. Put simply, NGK genuine spark plugs are the workhorse at the heart of smooth-running engines around the world. The NGK Standard Spark Plug is constructed from durable material that is corrosion and abrasion resistant. The spark plug insulators are made of 99 per cent pure alumina silicate, allowing for longer insulator noses for reduced fouling. This spark plug features a triple gasket sealing process that eliminates fuel leakage. It also includes a solid copper core that provides superior heat dissipation and conductivity. The spark plug's resistor is manufactured from a mixture of glass and carbon, which is fired to ensure superior performance and durability. It has corrugated ribs that prevent flashover and cold rolled threads to inhibit damage to the cylinder head.

Copper is generally seen as being the best metal to use in terms of conductivity but iridium plugs are seen as premium as they last longer than standard plugs and can be built with smaller tolerances. Iridium spark plugs also have lower voltage requirements, meaning they perform better when starting and idling and some manufacturers also claim they offer a better throttle response. Each and every spark plug manufactured by NGK is designed to meet the most rigorous standards, ensuring there ability to deliver reliability and consistent performance under all conditions. Each plug plays a major role in helping improve performance, fuel economy and the overall optimum efficiency helping to make a significant contribution in the reduction of emissions. Most parts are pattern or aftermarket although some will be genuine but are not always stated as being so.NGK is the brand leader in the UK spark plug market and are the world's biggest supplier to many major car manufacturers.

If the engine is running dangerously lean the whole plug tip will be grey or white. If the temperature is over 850-degrees, pre-ignition may occur. Engine power will be reduced and you risk piston damage. You’ll need this to help you find the location of your spark plugs and how to access them. This may sound simple but often the manual offers up some time-saving tips for your particular model.
