Stupid Freakin question that I have ran into . What is the Socket Size of the NGK: BPR7ES spark plugs. I have a 5/8 Plug socket that doesn't seem to be large enough to fit around the plug .

Like I said stupid fkn question but I need help

 

13/16 - should be the same on any Evo plug.

 

Just try different deep sockets and find out which one fits.

 

I am limited in my skill and limited in tools as you can already observe. I was looking for a standard answer like Warrtalon's so that I can go purchase one of the fckers . It's taking me an hour already and the compression still hasn't been checked lol/

 

Well, it's just the other standard size for spark plugs. They usually both come in a toolset like those small folding handheld ones.

 

I thought the IX plugs are 5/8?

 

Maybe they are, but he doesn't have a IX. If IX plugs use a different socket, then that would be very weird - just like how their tip protrudes further than on the VIIIs.

 

O ok sorry I thought you had tools to your disposal to just check. I thought this was another lazy question that could have been answered easily by just checking. Good luck though

 

Yep plugs are definitely diff. Also socket size is diff.

 

13/16th's for the win .


Thanks everyone who helped I went out and purchased what I needed. Thanks for answering

 

should you really be working on your evo













DIY

 

Warrtalon, I was just asking because you said all the evos were the same. I was told MIVEC is the reason they had to go for different plugs, but I've been too lazy to take the cover off myself

 

Prollly not but I figure eh, wth.

 

speaking of stupid socket sizes and what not, I did the oil change simultaneously on boths Evos today and the Evo 8 MR takes a 19mm for the drain plug while the Evo 9 takes a 17mm for the oil plug.
