Whatsisname also had issues with the BCPR6ES plugs missfiring.

He went the BK or something.. It should show up in a search some where.

I use the BCPR6E plugs.

They are the v-groove plug, I've found them to feel a little better than the standard non-vgroove plugs.

The S plugs at 16psi on the rb20det used to have a little bit of a flat hessitation feeling where as the V grooves didn't.

I leave them in for 20k then pull them out. I've had them in for as long as 40k and they still appeared ok when I pulled them out, no miss-firing etc.

There are 2 plug gaps.

1.1mm or .8mm

The .8mm plugs have nothing after the part number i.e BCPR6E

The 1.1mm plugs have a -11 after the part number i.e BCPR6E-11

I use and always have used the BCPR6E plugs. They are pretty rare, Motor Traders keep them.

They are $16.50 inc gst for a set of 6.

or... $2.75 inc gst. ;)

So what does the 'S" designate? I had the BCPR6ES and also had misfire problems and then they were changed for BCP6E which stopped the misfire.

I asked about the R which I was told was a resistor to stop interference from stereos or something but dont know what the S stands for. I double checked and they are definatelty BCP6E.

sorry to bump a old topic... but i also have gone from a bcp6e plug with no miss too a bcp6es plug and now have a miss

does anyone know if the copper centre could cause a missfire?

also have now been advised to go to a bcp7es plug to run things a little cooler

so now i have a choice

bcp6es

bcp6e

bcp7es

... or maybe even a bcp7e

any suggestions, so far i know that bcp6e on .66mm gap do not miss and bcp6es on .60mm gap do miss

You might have to recheck every sparkie for a correct gap. Those gaps are pretty darn small if you ask me!

Also the BCP/BKR range are all copper.

If you have a lot of mods, I would probably go the BCP7E (or BKR7E). The only difference between the BKR and BCP range is that the little metal tip on the opposite end (where the coils touch) are about 1mm shorter, which should be of no problem.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
