Don't know about the new plugs I got, Help please.

I ordered some new plugs from Mossy Nissan, and I asked for the PFR6B-11 plugs, the one's mentioned in the tech section. And then I got them today, but they're the PFR6G-11 plugs. I'm not sure if they'll work correctly in my little ga16, and I wanted to make sure before I put them in. Thanks.

I think they'll work... same temperature range.... do they look like the old ones?

Another question, how tight do I screw in the plugs?

Usually they should be hand tight then re-tightened 2/3 a turn. Or to be more spec. Tight to 14 to 28 Ft-Lbs.
They should screw-in pretty smooth.
Also it's a good practice to use an anti-seize compound on the threads so they dont get damaged.

To make some comparision, the Wheel lug nuts are usually tight to 70 or 80 Ft-Lbs.

Nissan/NGK changed the letter in the part #. They will work fine

Thanks everyone; I haven't touched the old plugs or anything yet, as I didn't want to eff anything up. But i'll get to it tomorrow sometime. I'm off to bed.
