NGK 7168 DCPR8EKC Standard Nickel Spark Plug M12 Heat Range 8

The NGK 7168 (DCPR8EKC) Standard spark plug is an OE-quality replacement plug from NGK, The Ignition Specialist. It has a copper core and two ground electrodes. It is built for dependable starts, smooth idle, and consistent ignition. NGK Standard plugs are the company's long-running OE line, sold in the familiar yellow box.

Key Features:

• Solid 98% pure copper core for heat dissipation, conductivity, and a broad heat range
• Multi-ground design with 2 nickel ground electrodes. The spark moves between electrodes, which spreads wear and makes the plug less sensitive to gap growth
• Built-in 5K ohm resistor to reduce radio and electrical interference
• High-grade alumina silicate ceramic insulator for strong insulation and good heat transfer
• Corrugated insulator ribs to help prevent flashover
• Triple-seal construction to help prevent combustion gas leakage
• Corrosion-resistant trivalent plating for easier installation and removal
• Cold-rolled threads to help prevent cross-threading and cylinder head damage
