Changing Spark Plugs
I have a couple questions:
1. Should I get OEM gaskets or gaskets from Kragen or AutoZone (just the throttle bottle gasket and plenum gasket, right)? 2. Anyone know the gapping for a '94 SL of the spark plugs? 3. Do you guys know if the NGK Spark Plug Wires are all blue? I want it to be blue since it'll be one of my colors under the hood. ![]() Thanks. |

i didnt think autozone would have a gasket for our plenum. Anyways, i would get it from the dealership, especially if you can find one from one of the places such as rockville mitsubishi who sells at wholesale prices. Now, if your gasket isn't that old, you dont necessarily have to replace it. There are people like me who pull their plenum off all the time to do work, and i probably dont even replace it except for maybe once every couple of years, unless i find a boost leak coming from it. With you being an N/A, its not as critical to replace that gasket because you aren't having to seal up every bit of your intake to hold pressurized air. In general, the gapping of N/A spark plugs are .040-.044 As far as the spark plug wires, when you order them, it should give you an option of what color you want. If it doesnt, then it will be whats in the picture. I know that i have accell wires and they came in yellow, red, and blue.

Re: Changing Spark Plugs
if it is a metal gasket then no not really unless some how it got messed up... mine was perfect and ive changed my plugs 4 or 5 times and never changed the gasket. (by the way if you buy coppers you have to change them very often. but they are the best for the power.)
