    Default Spark plugs

    Are 4A-FE plugs OK to use for a 16v ?

    Cheers.

    i doubt it... gap would be different. new plugs aren't that expensive, go and buy some NGK's.

    A 4A-FE is a 16 valve.

    4A-FE plugs should work fine in a 4A-GE if that's what you have.

    i hope you dont just assume the gap is correct when you buy them.....even if they are specifically for 4age.

    I've never checked plug gaps? I'm guessing a multi-national company like NGK would have quality control good enough to ensure that the product inside the packaging is what the packaging says it is?
