Drivetrain spark plugs eh?
#52
Ok I just put them in and theyre perfectly fine. The ones I took out also measured the same.. looked like as the electrode wore down, the carbon build up on the other side kept the gap the same.
FWIW I used a 15mm 6point deep socket instead of the reccommended 14mm 12pt. Just used a long magnet to fish them out, and the same magnet to put the new ones in along with a screwdriver to let me pull the magnet off.
Little plastic tab lifts up and the wire pulls off the coil. then just pull up kind of hard and the whole thing pops out

As for gap, the 0.8mm (0.32) I quote, this technical information was supplied to me by the NGK technical department, and that gap is relevant to all years production of the MCS N14 engine, running the NGK PLZKBR7A-G spark plugs.
If all yours have a 0.26 (0.66mm) gap, I would recommend leaving them be, just simply fit them, they will be fine.

Yep right here is the link.
Remember it was .7mm for the n18 Cooper S. Pregapped.
Good gap info here: Some plugs have been SS in part number and series.
