spark plug NGK BPR4ES ; gap to 0.030"; torque to 16ft/lbs
2023-06-15 the plugs I just installed (which I bought as part of a tuneup kit about a year ago) are F5RTC
this page lists Torch F5RTC (mine is a different brand) as a substitue for NGK BPR5ES; this page goes from NGK to Torch
this thread discusses BPR4ES vs BPR5ES "BPR5ES is one heat range colder than the BPR4ES, and could cause hard starting and have a higher probability of fouling."
