Long Reach Spark Plugs

Checking the CC on a new set of heads (043). Install a NGK B5ES. The
electrode protrudes into the chamber a few threads. Is this correct?

No.

You can steal the washers from an old plug and solve the problem.

If you leave exposed threads in the chamber they will glow and cause
detonation. - not good !

Thanks "tricky". The answer you gave leads me to another question, if you
don't mind? Why use a long reach spark plug if it doesn't work without
multiple washers to make it right. What is a better plug to use with 043
heads that will fit properly?

Not only that, but there could be a bit less than enougfh clearance to
the piston face, and any and all carbon buildup, will occur the same
on the threads, thus making them part of the head permanently, if you
try and remove the spark plugs after they have been carboned up even
just a little it will damage the threads in the heads and render them
scrap (of course there are repairs, but nothing beats doing it right
the first time, and not haviung to do heli-coil repairs or inserts.)

Tricky has the right answer if you will be using those plugs.
I recommend getting the proper model plugs.

one small step for man,.....
One giant leap for attorneys.

I cant remember off the top of my head what the correct part # is. part
of the number relates to the length of the plug (reach).

Some one will sone post in with the correct number I am sure. If not I
will look it up for you.

What is the part number / make you have ?

Use B5HS that is the short equivalent..

J.

Ps the stock recommendation is B6HS slightly colder..
