<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u201cCross reference\u201d is a term utilized in conjunction with spark plug replacement. Spark plugs are easy to come by, as they are available through land-based and online retailers and automotive part<\/a> stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Z8C spark plug cross reference does not come without risks. The method provides an alternative brand equivalent to the original OEM spark plug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is similar to replacing original OEM parts with non-OEM or aftermarket parts of a different brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cross-referencing a Z8C spark plug can be risky. It is vital to know the specifics before buying a replacement. Consumers should be aware of the risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many are which is why they choose to routinely clean their Z8C spark plugs instead of replacing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two NGK equivalents to the Z8C spark plug. The NGK B6HS and NGK B7HS are provided in the cross-reference. With this said, both NGK replacements have a longer tip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The major difference between the two NGK spark plug models is the B7HS is specifically designed for high-performance motorized bikes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The NGK B6HS is ideal for street bikes, while the NGK B7HS helps keep high-performance engines cooler. Another option is the NGK B8HS which works great in warmer climates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each spark plug model has a number on its insulator. The number is an important tool to ensure the right application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cR\u201d basically says the spark plug is a monolithic “Resistor<\/strong>” which is constructed from a combination of glass and graphite materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cE\u201d refers to the \u201cShell<\/strong>\u201d design or reach and thread size. The shell design allows the spark plug to fit perfectly into the motor cylinder head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The first two numbers represent the \u201cHeat Range<\/strong>,\u201d and the next three letters specify the \u201cFiring End Design<\/strong>\u201d and the final number is the \u201cGap Dimension<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having access to interchangeable spark plugs of different brands is vital to consumers. For example, a consumer is unable to access an OEM spark plug for his motorized bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The automotive part store cross-references the spark plug with a different brand of equivalent value.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Manufacturers rely on a systematic cross-reference process to design and produce interchangeable, equivalent spark plugs. The top manufacturers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like most consumer products, spark plugs are available in dozens of generic brands. It is unfortunate when consumers just \u201cassume\u201d generic and name-brand spark plugs are of equal value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, this is not to say, all generic brand spark plugs are incompatible with brand-name spark plugs. It just means there is always a possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Improper cross-referencing of spark plugs could result in poor performance, overheating, misfiring, quenching, and increased petrol consumption. Even worse is a complete engine malfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is only one sure way to buy the exact aftermarket spark plug. Two-stroke motorcycles and other motorized vehicles come with an owner\u2019s manual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The information provided in the owner\u2019s manual is specific to the make and model of the vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nCross Reference Z8C Spark Plug<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
