Title: got my sp542 replacements ... (pics) (oddity)
Post by: TopherSho on March 11, 2020, 11:16:55 PM
well they look the part ...  but there is an oddity.  It appears they are pre-gapped to .028/.029 ?    I cannot find my feeler gauge but my old wire guage .030 wont pass,  it is a hard no on all 6 plugs. 

part number is below and does not have any good details from the googlez
cyfs
092ypt3

hmmm doesnt seem right ...

I've been running mine at .026 for the last year. I think you would be fine running those.

I bought a new pair of 542's last weekend, all were pre-gapped to .028 as well.

My ceramic has a 3 on the end of it ( CYFS092YPT3 ) .  Wonder if that means revision 3 of the ceramic tip,  mine is the new ''long tapered'' type.

I did not. If we're being honest, my add generally doesn't allow me to retain anything past the first sentence of any post so I assumed your hangup was more gap based.

Update,  I do NOT like these plugs.   I have lost 4 tenths of a second of my 0-60 ... way way not happy.

Dropped from a repeatable 4.4 to a 4.8 ... super pissed since they cost a bunch

I switched to the M-12405-35T plugs about a month ago. They seem to be OK.

I failed to update the thread,  my bad.  A reset seems to have solved it... but i'm baffled and still kinda annoyed that changing plugs had such an effect ..
