ok every ones saying go with a colder plug but what is the part number for that ive gone to pep boys,autozone etc they dont even list mini coopers in ther computer, so does any one know a part number to ask for sence ther incapable of cross ref.thaks all

 

first off, buy the part online... i dont think that thoes places would have the right companies. I recomend you check the sponsors of this site for the plugs...

 

Eurostyles East in the sponsor section recently had them on sale. Maybe they still are, give Brian a call.

 

 

NGK Iridium IX is BKR7EIX and gap at .035

 

The plug for this engine requires the use of a 12-point 14mm plug socket which is smaller than a conventional 16mm (5/8”) hex size. The hex on this plug is a 12-point (BI-HEX) and not a 6-point.

The thread diameter of the spark plug is also smaller than most regular automotive plugs your used to. It’s a 12mm diameter instead of 14mm. Hope this helps, thank you.
