Beru plug gap...

[primo4]

Howdy,

Do I have to gap the Beru plugs I purchased and if so, can anyone recommend a good gapper as I've only gapped the single electrode type in the past.

Regards

A normal gap will work - but I have only seen one 4 prong plug that needed the gap set (and I think tool Pants dropped that one - :lol: :lol: )

The 1997-1999 2.5 uses a 2 side electrode plug. The gap is .8 mm and it is easy to measure.

The 2000 -2004 2.7/3.2 uses a 4 side electrode plug. The gap is 1.6 mm. I have no clue how you would check the gap on a 4 side electrode plug. If they look ok you just use them out of the box. That is what the mechanics at my local dealer do.

You can see both styles of plugs in the picture.

Thanks you for the responses.

As a side note, I've seen conflicting opinions on using anti-seize on the plug threads...any opinion on that subject?

Regards.

Hello,

Sorry to but in. I’d like to have the longest lasting plug that could be considered “stock. I’m going to be supercharging my 99 2.5. Several knowledgeable SC people warned against platinum plugs and advised to stick with “stock” plugs.

Once the SC is installed it's impossible to access the plugs without pulling the blower out, not somthing I want to do to often.

Thanks, PK

I'd like to see a picture of the SC install that blocks the spark plugs. I didn't think there was enough space between the coils and the suspension/body to put anything substantial.
