Whilst cleaning and reseting my plugs last night I was slightly suprised to find that they were B8ECS's and not B7ECS as normally fitted .

Questions -
Whats the difference between the two?
Should I continue with them?
Should I change them back to B7ECS's?
I've set them at 0.85 as i couldn't find a definitive setting either 0.8 or 0.9 being quoted, whats best?

In addition i noticed that the plugs at the extremes of the block i.e. plugs 1, 2, 7 & 8 seemed more sooty than the ones on the inside of the block, is this because it's 'cooler' at the edges of the block?

Thanks in advance.

any ideas??, as I've never heard of the B8ECS being used before, I take it by the higher number it is a 'colder' version of the B7ECS??

Thanx for the advice I think I’ll fit the 7's then, might just hang onto the 8's though just in case.
I'll be careful Steve when I take them out so as I don't start a nuclear reaction.
I got given the number of NGK tech support earlier, I may just ring them tomorrow out of curiosity to see what they say anyway.

BTW re a previous thread the 'C' definately stands for copper in the 'ECS' part.
