  • Y80 spark plugs

    If converting Y80 from 18 mm to 14mm plug thread using a plug thread adapter what NGK (or other) plugs will be applicable? I presently use 18 mm NGK A9N.

    Thanks

      The engine is used as a stock y80, are these plugs for stock or mod?

        Stock, When you use a spark plug reducer there is a small amount of heat transfer that is lost, so reducing the heat range of the spark plug is a good idea.

          A question that I just became aware of. The plugs you note are 3/4" reach and the original NGK A9N plugs are 1/2" reach and a spacer is used that makes the reach about 0.4" to be flush with the inside of the combustion chamber. Will the extra reach into the combustion chamber be a concern with exposed thread or should a spacer be used to reduce the reach?

          What about NGK R8102-9 or -10 racing series plugs that I believe are 18mm and 16mm (.63") reach so no real exposed thread issue if the Y80 spacer is used? I see these being talked about for the Y80, 102 and the 302.

          Thanks

            The spark plug reducers we use also changes the plug reach. R8102 plug work great if you can find some.
