Main3s Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I know spark plugs have different heat ranges but will a set of stock plugs out of a 3800 motor work in a Saturn SC?. The only reason I ask is I have my mom's car for a week while she's on vacation and I thought I'd tune it up and clean it for her. But before I going buying new plugs I have a brand new set from my 3800 will they work... I know I'm a cheap bastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 if they take the exact same plug number then yeah they will work just fine. but i highly doubt they even have the same heat range or reach for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Got ya. So what makes them different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 gasket vs taper seat along with reach (aka how many threads are there?) let alone heat ranges. also different electrode's,tip protrusion length, let alone variations on the basic design. http://faqs.custhelp.com/rnt/rnw/img/enduser/spark_plug_differentiation1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
