Default New Copper Plugs 1, rough idle 0.

I have had a rough idle since rebuilding my AEB motor. I was in a hurry, so I just pealed the head off the old motor and put in on the new rebuilt block. Well, the idle has been fairly rough since I started it the first time. I finally broke down and spent another $8 on plugs and presto-chango the idle is nice and smooth. Copper plugs work great, but not for very long.

NGK V-Power FTW!

Had to do the same thing with the SC. Engine did NOT like Platinum.

NGK BKR7E's gapped at about 0.030"? That's the current plan when I add the fueling kit.

Default These were BKR6Es gapped to .032". I probably should have gapped them a little smaller.

On the '02 AMB, I gapped to around .028". For this car, I wanted a better idle and didn't car about high end as much. On the '02, I wanted a nicer full throttle feel. Apparently, this has worked out pretty well.
