Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread diameter, reach, seat type, and heat range before installation. Bosch 8153 uses a 14 mm thread, 19 mm reach, flat seat, and 1.1 mm pre-gap, so confirm the engine specification matches the plug before service. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque procedure and inspect ignition components for wear during replacement.
