  • VR6 spark plug gap?

    I just got NGK BKR5EKU plugs to fit a mk3 VR6 and i was wondering what size they need to be gapped to?

    cheers

    They shouldn't need to be gapped. The spark doesn't jump the gap. It travels down and onto the centre insulator, then jumps to the underside of the two fingers. A plug is worn when the two fingers have lost about 33% of the finger thickness.
