Correct Plugs CR8EIX or CR9EIX

[JoeyMcEssex]

Hi Guys, which is the correct one handbook has both CR8 and 9? Will it matter?

[daviee]

cr8e according to the haynes manual

[darrsi]

I've used both before, they both fall into our temperature range but i think the recommended type for UK is CR8E or CR8EIX for Iridium.

[JoeyMcEssex]

Cheers guys, was planning on iridiums anyway, but in the back of my mind think I have a box of CR8 in the garage somewhere so may root around tomorrow.

I had seen a deal for CR9EIX just over 20 quid for 4 so thought why not if they aint going to kill the FAZ!!

9s are a cooler burning plug so wont do any harm

[JoeyMcEssex]

Just bought em £22 for CR9EIX delivered: my Faze is gonna feel pampered this month  :lol

Cheap is cool, but I think more significant is 'genuine'. There are a lot of counterfeit plugs sold online. Have a google for 'spotting fake spark plugs'.

[darrsi]

Out of curiosity, where did you get them from at that price?

[celticdog]

Yep, CR8E's. Does anyone out there use plug brands other than NGK?

Never seen the point, "if it ain't broke don't try and fix it" springs to mind.

[JoeyMcEssex]

Darrsi Never thought of that , they were on the bay from an ex R1 owner who never got to fit them?

Will check when they show up, paid by paypal so any probs can get money back at least.

If they're just 2nd hand but unused then that's a fair enough price.

[JoeyMcEssex]

It all looks genuine and he has 100% feedback, for what its worth, just gonna have to wait and check em.

[daviee]

cant see their being any problem their are plenty of honest people  out there

And just as many dodgy buggers too  :rolleyes

[JoeyMcEssex]

well got em now and from what I can see from scouring internet they appear genuine: most of the pics show non-iridium yellow packet copper cores so just gonna put em in and see how they run.

My point exactly. Apparently denso makes a plug that fits the fzs600
