Do I need to do anything before I put them in? They should be pregapped, right?

I ordered these specifically for the Evo, so I should just have to put them in???

 

always gap ur plugs even if they are "pregapped" gap them put some antiseize on them throw em in

 

yes, they should be pregapped to .26-.28. but double check (not with a round tool)

 

They should be gapped at .028, which is fine. I like to check them to be sure, just be very careful because its easy to mess up the iridium tip.

 

NGK Iridium EVO Spark Plugs BPR7EIX


Product Description

Why NGK Iridium? More Durability and a Higher Melting Point compared to Platinum, better center electrode anti-oxidation and anti-erosion, improved ignition, superior anti-fouling, lower required voltage, new metal shell plating process for better anti-corrosion. One Step Colder plugs are recommended for car with 400+ hp Evo's

Fits: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII 03-05 GSR, MR, RS

Tech Tip: These plugs DO NOT come pre-gapped. We recommend purchasing the spark plug gapper tool, seen below. These plugs are one stage cooler then the stock EVO Plugs.

 

i have been told not to gap them because they r iridium. i just popped them in. TOTALLY forgot to put anti-seize but it shouldnt matter.

 

until you take them out......and the threads from the cylinder head go with the plug...

 

maybe i should go buy some anti-seize when i have to take my valve cover off to re-torque those head studs

 

might as well anti seize is like 50 cents lol

 

Sorry for my ignorant, but what is anti seize? Where do you buy the anti seize?

 

Where did you guys buy your plugs? I went to autozone and they didn't stock ngk's

 

i had to get the NGK online only place i could find them anti seize u can get any local auto parts store its a small tear package and it makes it so the threads of things dont seize together so when removing them next time they dont get stuck and Tear ur engine apart... u can also use it on exhaust bolts etc just makes it possible to pull bolts out etc

 

Goto Napa they carry all the NGK plugs.

 

i went on ebay and bought the plugs. Costed me like 30 shipped.

 

Why NGK Iridium? More Durability and a Higher Melting Point compared to Platinum, better center electrode anti-oxidation and anti-erosion, improved ignition, superior anti-fouling, lower required voltage, new metal shell plating process for better anti-corrosion. One Step Colder plugs are reccomended for car with 400+ hp cars. The colder plugs have non-projected tips, which lowers ignitability (if you need colder plugs, this shouldn't be an issue for you anyways).

Please Note:Iridium plugs are able to use larger gap setting with less voltage. Some customers choose to regap these plugs to correct misfiring or tune for optimal spark -- do so at your own risk -- slide-type plug gapper will damage the fragile iridium tip. Price is for One Plug Only.
