Hi all, What spark plugs do I need for my LS1? I am seeing variants, such as Variant1 and Variant2. Which one do I want? Also any other tips re spark plugs for the LS1 would be helpful. Bosch seems to be common. Thanks Alex |

Most searches reveal NGK TR55 as the top choice for Ls1 F bodies providing you`re not running gas or FI etc. Thats what I was going to buy but with only 18000 miles on it, it runs spot on and the hassle of the change put me off. Its a big job seemingly involving lots of swearing and faffing about. I`ll hold off till next service

OK I am struggling to find them. I have found some Bosch ones, but it says variant1 or variant 2. Anybody have any idea which variant I should get? 1 or 2? Thanks Alex |

hey Alex, How many miles on your car? Just done a bit more reading there. There`s 18,000 miles on my car. There`s absolutely no way I`ll be changing the stock plugs as long as I have the car and it`s running well. According to my manual it says they`re due to be replaced at 100,000 miles. Ok, that sounds a bit lengthy BUT there`s NO WAY I`ll even put 10,000 miles on it as long as I own it so I can forget about plugs. |

Hiya, My car has 157,000 miles on her and the plugs were last changed at 102,000 miles according the receipts/service history I have so I figured 55,000 miles was good enough and time for a change. Has anyone changed the plugs on a LS1 and can point me in a good direction? The variant 1 or 2 for the bosch plugs seems to be in the gap of the spark plug, 1mm or 0.040 inches seems popular in the states so I might go for that set. Thanks Alex |

My Denso Platinum plugs arrived today so if I can figure out how to upload pictures on here I will post up pics of the old plugs vs the new plugs when they get changed out on Saturday. |
