Pinto spark plug adapters / inserts

4 Spark plug Adapter Inserts that convert from the Std 18mm Pinto Spark plugs so that I can run 12mm Motorbike spark plugs required, cash waiting.


Cheers

Alex

Yep, li nky


SpeedPro Pinto tuning book also mentions them if you raise the CR significantly.

18mm plug hits the piston & running these inserts the plug cant hit the piston + you get a much better spark.

How does the plug hit the piston, plugs don't move? Why is the spark better from a bike plug? They run on the same electrics as the other plug. The only thing they are doing is taking the spark outside the combustion chamber, can't you get shorter reach 18mm plugs to do that?





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If you skim the head a lot to raise CR the piston wallops them!

Possibly, I'll be giving Burton a call the second they open, it'll be a lot cheaper

No longer needed, short tip plugs are the solution. Part number NGK A7FS.
