Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the engine calls for NGK BPR7ES / 5534 before installation. Check the specified gap for your application, since some listed vehicles use OE-equivalent gaps different from the pre-gap size shown here. Use the correct 13/16 in. spark plug socket, confirm the seat type matches the cylinder head, and inspect ignition wires or coils before installing new plugs. For vehicles such as the Porsche 911, Porsche 944, and Audi Quattro, follow the manufacturer service interval and torque specification for the engine.
