NGK Standard spark plugs provide excellent service for many applications, including auto/light truck, powersports and small engines. They feature a triple gasket sealing process that virtually eliminates gas leakage past the shell. Other manufacturers use a one- or two-step sealing process. NGK Standard spark plug insulators are made from 99% pure alumina silicate, allowing for longer insulator noses for reduced fouling. NGK Standard plugs feature a solid copper core that provides superior heat dissipation and conductivity. Their resistors are produced with a glass and carbon mixture, which is fired to ensure superior performance and durability. Some manufacturers use inserts that break. NGK Standard plugs also have corrugated ribs to prevent flash over and cold rolled threads to prevent damage to the cylinder head.
