Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The NGK B-4L spark plug features a 14mm outer thread and an 11.2mm thread length, with a 20.8mm hex nut size for installation. Ensure the engine is cool before attempting replacement. Carefully thread the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once finger-tight, use a torque wrench to tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque. The unscrewable SAE connector should be attached securely to the ignition lead.
Compatibility: This spark plug is designed for petrol engines. Verify that its specifications (thread size, heat range, electrode configuration) match the requirements listed in your vehicle's or equipment's service manual. It has a single earthed electrode and no interference suppression.
Care: Spark plugs are wear items and typically do not require maintenance. However, when replacing or inspecting, ensure the electrode surfaces are clean and free from excessive carbon buildup or damage. If cleaning is necessary, use a spark plug cleaner or a soft brush. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the electrodes.
