Hey guys, its about time to change the spark plugs on the '90 SOHC. Fuel mileage seems to be dropping and I'm getting misfires while driving and the ocassional stumble at idle. I've narrowed it down to the plugs and I'm looking for some guidance on what to get.

So far I know:BOSCH sucksNKG ftw?

Which NKG plugs should I be running? V-power? G-Power? The local parts store gave me the plug number for the G-Powers: ZFR5EGP. These plugs any good? Oh, and what shoud I be gapping them to?

Sorry to ask, but I did search and got nothing helpful. (hence the very search-friendly title)

Get NGK V power. I use em in my built SOHC, they'll be just fine for your SOHC. And they're pre-gapped.

I'd still check the gap to make sure. if they fall during shipping or being stocked on the shelf do you honestly think they will keep the same gap. That and i put NGK's in my 90 and 93 and the gap was wrong. It never hurts to check...

I picked up a set of the G-Powers, are they worth the extra money or should I return them and get the V-Powers when theyre in stock?

Anyone know the gap I should be running?
