NGK Platnium Plugs Numbers and questions
Sunday, October 01, 2006 9:26 AM
So I really needed new plugs and the only place that was opentoday sold me these guys
NGK Laser Platnium PTR5a-13 STOCK NO 2467

So what I need to know is are these correct for my ecotec engine

and are these pre gapped correctly. IT says to hand tighten so I assume they are but better safe than sorry, thanks!

Well. i work at NAPA and am sitting bored at work so i decided to check if there right. yes they are right and they need to be gapped at .052". they are not pre gapped either. as for hand tightening. thats a load of BS. they need to be tightend with a rachet or torque wrench. either way. dont tighten them to much.
