RX-7's spark plug
What is the size of the spark plug in a RX-7 because I have a spark plug socket but I dont know if it is the right size. Please tell me the size in inches or centimetres.
|
dont use anything except:
NGK - BUR7EQ - Leads NGK - BUR9EQ - Trails if you use something with the regular general canadian-tire oldschool style electrode, you risk it meeting an apex seal.. |
oh wait.. you mean how big are the plugs to remove or install?
5/8s works perfectly for me.. but i wouldnt be surprised if it was meant for a metric equivalent |
What I am saying is what would the size of a socket have to be to fit around the sparkplug?
|
I use a 21mm socket.
|
Its 21mm? Damn because this spark plug socket is 16mm. Try a 16mm, and tell me if it will work.
|
21mm has a little to much play in it for me.
There are two different sizes of spark plug sockets, one is 5/8, and the other is 13/16, and the difference between a normal deep well and a spark plug socket is that a spark plug socket has a rubber donut in the end of it that holds the spark plug so you don't drop it in your engine. And the 13/16 fits the best, and that is on an NGK spark plug, and that should be what every spark plug that fits into an RX-7 should take. There are only 2 different sizes of spark plugs that I have ever seen and that is 5/8, and 13/16. |
Ohh yes, and 16mm won't work either.
|
I use a 21mm b'c thats all I have deep enough near that size. Sure their a little play when tightening It but don't overly concern myself due to the little torque needed to tighten them to begin with.
Note- I'm not or am Implying I'm a hacked mechanic.:D |
Jesus now that is cheap:D it is only like 2 bucks for a spark plug socket. :hah:
|
If 5/8 fits than 16mm will fit... Its the same.
|
5/8s works fine for me..
|
How does 5/8's fit your's :scratch: Mine will only take a 13/16, does NGK make different size spark plugs??? It seems like the would all have to be the same size, to seal around the hole in the rotor housing.
|
If 5/8 fits than 16mm will fit... Its the same. No there is just a cunt hair difference in size :D, but it will probably still fit, I haven't tryed. |
