I've been having a bit of a problem with the plugs in the BOC, it's still running the MG Metty engine that I put in as a stop gap three years back, only mods being a stage 1 kit and MegaJolt.

In the past I've always used NKG BPS ES plugs on NA engines (currently got a set in the Midget and that's running a treat) but with MegaJolt should I switch to resistive plugs, ie BP6 R ES?

Yeah resistive plugs are supposed to be used, although it didn't seem to make any difference on mine! lol

Hi,
I run BPR7ES on the 1380, 6s should be fine on a standard engine. Resisted plugs cut down on interference *wink*
Cheers,

Cheers guys that's exactly what I thought, now I need to figure out why two BPR6ES plugs died simultaneously after about 18 months. As an aside it was plugs 2&4 that died, very strange.

I've got BCR8ES plugs in mine.

Are they suitable? They seem to die with the slightest drop of oil on them.

I may be being dim, but isn't the resistive 'R' more to do with radio interference than a performance thing ?

I could have been mislead however...

OEL if they are so sensitive to a bit of oil they are too hard (cold)for the job-try a grade lower.In my experience NGK,s dont take well to being cleaned,so once they are fouled its new ones every time.

Are BCR7ES a grade higher?

With the NGK's the higher the number the colder the plug. ie 8= cold and 6=hot. Champion plugs on the other hand are the other way around ie 9=hot and 6=cold.
If the BCR8ES's are fouling try the BCR7ES's. Hope that helps
