Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of a projected insulator tip?
The projected insulator tip extends further into the combustion chamber, helping to keep the electrode hotter and reducing the buildup of carbon deposits and oil, thereby preventing fouling.
What does the 'RV12YC' designation signify?
This designation indicates specific electrode gap, thread size, reach, and heat range characteristics optimized for certain engine applications, including many marine engines.
Is this spark plug a resistor type?
Yes, the RV12YC is a resistor type spark plug, which helps to suppress radio frequency interference (RFI) that can disrupt sensitive onboard electronics like GPS and VHF radios.
What is the standard hex size for installing this plug?
The hex size for the RV12YC spark plug is 13/16 inches, which is equivalent to 20.6 millimeters.
How does the 'Shop Pack' format benefit a boater?
A shop pack provides a convenient and cost-effective way to stock multiple spark plugs for immediate replacement needs, ensuring your vessel remains operational without frequent parts runs.
