Spark Plugs
Original specifications are as follows:
2 litre engines: |
Champion N60Y |
2.4 litre engines: |
Champion N60Y or Bosch W300T 30 |
Looking at the following Champion specification table the code means the following:
N: |
Thread size: 14mm, Reach: 3/4", Hex: 13/16" |
60: |
High performance heat range |
Y: |
Standard projected core nose |
The Champion N60Y plug is no longer available, but cross references to the NGK BP[heat rating]E[electrode type] where the heat rating can be from 6 to 10 and the electrode type S(standard) or T(triple). For example: NGK BP6ET or NGK BP10ES. You could also use the type with a resistor built in although this is not necessary.
For reference purposes I have reproduced the following information regarding the coding of NGK Spark plugs (the original article can be found at
Z1-spark-plug-guide):
For example:
The B8ES plug is 14mm thread (B), has a middle heat range (8), a thread length of 19mm (E), and a standard 'hook' style electrode (S).
The thread pitch is 1.25mm.
The platinum equivalent of the B8ES is B8EV.
