Aren't NGKs preset? I've never been able to set the gap on an NGK spark plug...

they are adjustable.

also dont use the NGK ones in an M20. the bosch w8lcr is a better plug for the car.

I use NGK, I like

Do we really want to listen to borat's endorsement here?

Does any one have one if these laying around? And does any one know where it leads to? I'm doing an m20 swap but its a late model(91) m20 into an early model(87) I just got a new radiator and coolant reservoir

[kronus]

looks like it's the late model heater core to overflow tank to coolant distribution block hose? I think?

So I'm working on my BBS's, but the center from the one with the bent barrel doesn't wanna come out. Would it be bad to press the center out?

What I had to do to get all the bolts out:

[oliver.r]

Put something aoft on the underside of it and kick it out, that's what I did

[Vivek]

I've tried kicking it, jumping on it, hitting it with a hammer and a piece of wood (with a few leather gloves to protect the PC)...I think the barrel is a bit tweaked and it's jammed in there. The other one popped right out on the second kick

[E30_Pare]

Put wet towels on the face, and torch the barrel. Then stomp on it. Or if your cool throw that bitch in the oven.

[Vivek]

Hmm..if I'm gonna torch it should I not put PB on it? I was gonna let it soak overnight. Also theres a euro s50 on CL for 3k.

[golde30]

I bet if I stomped on it with my 250lbs it would pop out.

[Vivek]

Is there anything wrong with putting it in a press? I think the center is steel so it should bend the barrel before bending the center, but I definitely need that center undamaged since it's PC'd and redrilled.

How big was your hammer? I have a ~7lb maul you can use if you want.

+1 I was thinking my 200+ pds of man meat can get that out. Pretty sure LBV was hitting it with some little league powa. Anyways I doubt you'd need pb blaster to get it out, and if you torched it would probably set yourself on fire LOL.
