    Default C20LET (RS Turbo spark plugs)

    First off im sorry if this is a silly question but im new to all this

    My LET engine has a misfire on idle and after doing some research into it i decided to get some RS turbo plugs

    Now the plugs dont match up, the rs turbo plug sits lower than the plug i pulled out

    Heres a pic of what i mean

    Are they ok to use?

    I was thinking the plug wouldnt be close enough to the piston when sparking?

    Someone please help me out, thanks

    Iirc that is so the tip doesn't get as hot to the break down slower. Making them better for turbo cars.

    Ngk bcr9es to be specific....even the big power boys use them. Sometimes don't last very long but the best plug for the job. Best gap is 2-3mm iirc.
