I've never had good things about them. i've been using NGK plugs for years and never had a problem with them.

1/2" reach are B5HS

3/4" reach are B5ES

I use BCP6ES which are 3/4" reach, one grade colder and have a 5/8" hex head rather then the normal 13/16". It makes it much easier to get the socket on for R&R when you have wide dual carb manifolds.

Thanks for sharing that tech tip, Glenn!

One small problem with the BCP6ES plugs, the nipple on the top is not removable so you can't use the standard spark plug ends that you use on a VW. But if you order wires for a 1969 Porsche 912, they are the exact same 7mm silicone wires and have spark plug ends that require the nipple to be on. They are made by Beru and Bremi.

BTW... Bosch no longer makes the 09 001 wires so Beru, Bremi and aftermarket are your only sources.

Makes your care more of a Porsche
