Got some coming, they are the correct ones for the 99 R1, will they come pre-gapped? -- Nige, Land Rover 90 Yamaha R1 Range Rover Vogue
For the 15 seconds it takes, I'd check them myself. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
Only reason i ask, is I need to buy a gapper.....along with the fucking circlip pliers i need for the fucking paddock stand i just bought..... -- Nige, Land Rover 90 Yamaha R1 Range Rover Vogue
None of the dealers I know ever bother, because they come pre-gapped at factory and are never out when checked.
Ahh. Useful thing to have in the kit, IMHO. I have two. Not that I ever use them, or could find them. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
I have had at least three sets & two pairs of circlip pliers..... -- Nige, Land Rover 90 Yamaha R1 Range Rover Vogue
Open box, screw into engine, leave for 20,000 miles. I've never needed to gap an iridium plug yet and I've changed hundreds (probably a slight exaggeration) of them over the years. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
You have far more experience than I. I haven't replaced plugs with gaps in for about 13 years (Rachel's Sprint, the 116 had multi-electrodes). They weren't out either, but I used to check. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
No, but I wouldn't worry about it. However there's a chance they won't come with screw caps either (mine didn't), so if you haven't got any spares laying around, prepare for a trip to your local motor factors to buy four of the cheapest plugs they do with removable caps. Make sure they are removable too - many aren't these days.
They came yesterday, how fucking cheapskate is that? -- Nige, Land Rover 90 Yamaha R1 Range Rover Vogue
Fucking cheapskate, but every fucker's at it these days. I have a box with about 8 or 9 of plug tops at home for just such times. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Hmm, forewarned is forewarned, i'll take the tops off my spare plugs before I chuck 'em if they're pulling stunts like this .. Paul.
Just visually check the gap hasn't been closed up by any rough handling in transit before they got to you. Just check one against the other, they should all be the same. Paul.
