- The Evolution of Spark Plugs
- High ignitability spark plugs are crucial for modern, high-pressure engines, ensuring clean and efficient combustion.
- Pre-gapped high ignitability plugs should not be adjusted. For other plugs, always use proper gapping tools to prevent damage.
- Over-torquing spark plugs is a common mistake that can lead to cracks. Avoid using anti-seize compounds on NGK plugs to ensure proper installation.
- The Aftermarket and OE Standards
- NGK's aftermarket plugs undergo the same rigorous testing as their OE counterparts, ensuring top-tier performance and reliability.
- Todd emphasized the importance of purchasing from authorized dealers to avoid counterfeit products, which can compromise performance and safety.
- Upgraded Ignition Coils
- MOD ignition coils from NGK feature enhanced durability with high-temperature materials and tighter windings, making them ideal for high-performance and demanding applications like fleet vehicles and police cruisers.
- While MOD coils provide added reliability, they are best suited for performance applications rather than standard commuter vehicles.
- Practical Insights for Repair Shops
- Educate customers on selecting parts that fit their specific vehicle needs rather than opting for upgrades that may not provide tangible benefits.
- Stay updated on new product launches, including 82 new ignition coil part numbers Niterra plans to release in the next year.
