Detailed Features and Specifications
The Denso Iridium Power 5316 spark plug incorporates a copper core center electrode with an iridium tip, which provides a balance of excellent electrical conductivity and wear resistance. The ground electrode features a tapercut, u-groove design that enhances spark exposure and combustion efficiency. With a single ground electrode made from nickel, the plug maintains durability under high-temperature conditions. The flat seat design ensures a secure fit in the combustion chamber, while the 19.00 mm reach and 14.00 mm thread diameter match OEM specifications for compatible Maserati and Porsche engines. The 0.7 mm pre-gap size is optimized for ignition performance, and the 5000 ohm resistance helps minimize electromagnetic interference with vehicle electronics.
