I ordered the step colder plug LTR7BHX 95605. Sorry I didn't mention that.

Just received theses plugs today from NGK. Set gap to .026. First impression is the engine fired quicker, idles much smoother, and the throttle response is a tad faster.

Sounds good! How many miles did you have on the previous set?

I wonder if ford indexes their spark plugs from the factory?

Maybe 10k on some Iridium 6510s ...but now I'm Aux fuel also and Mitch @ CP-E took them out and re-gapped them just for shits when I was there.

I had 20k on the 6510's they still looked good

amazon or ebay
something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...42e-e8f213ef368b&pf_rd_r=7NJYHGECJ6DNBEA7EW99

I find this old school type handy as it can be used to open or close the gap and has feeler gauges all in one. Mine is about 40 years old.

Lol no

These plugs are made for the 1.6 EB unlike the the 6510. Finally

I got them through my local Napa auto parts. They have an online special and I got them for 42 with taxes. What prices are these going for? I've seen them online for $10 + each. I got them for a little under 10 each.

I can only compare them to the stock plugs but the idle is smoother, it also fired up faster and idle down to 850 faster. I installed these because I got Dizzy stage 2 93 and gapped to .028 like he recommended.

$7.00 per plug @ rockauto.....+ $5 shipping. Maybe more now....FYI. GAPPED to .026. Meh....not anything else really noticed.

Which one are you looking for? Stock or 1 -step colder?

 

[Fiestig]

I have both (2020 2.3 explorer uses same plug) 95605(LTR7BHX) is the 1 step colder plug which I have in the Fiesta. I have run them for a tad over 3k miles. Previous to these I had to regap my Iriduims typically around each oil change. I pulled them the other day and gap was spot on to my setting. I really like these plugs quite a bit.

 

[SerialBrain2]

is the 95605 for turbo or na?

No problem. Happy to help. You will not be disappointed with the plugs. Others gap at 0.026, Just for reference I gap at .028

I'm considering picking these up once whoosh has em in stock. Any idea what difference the slightly smaller gap makes?
