Subject: Re: Suitable Spark Plugs for 16/80?
Thanks Laurence, indeed from my various Googlings I was coming to the conclusion that NGK AB's 5,4 & 3 don't exist and I've not yet had anyone say they use an AB2. Perhaps it's too hot?
As you say I am sure that the engine will need looking at at some time; valve guides & rings would be the obvious wear points but I know from my other cars that if you replace rings you may as well replace the pistons and rebore the cylinders. And if you do that you may as well regrind the crank and fit new bearings. As for the valve guides well that's new valves & springs too... how much is an engine rebuild?
