NGK B8HS Part#5510

**Ronnie C.** · 09-08-2022, 08:35 PM

Bought 2 about a month ago and can't find anymore.So I called NGK and talked to tech dept. and they said was no longer being produced and to use BR8HS part#4322.I told her that it was weird because the last 2 i bought didn't have cardboard or plastic thread protector. I asked if NGK was getting boot legged.She told me to open box before i pay for them and if no thread protector don't buy them.Anyone else heard of this?

Interesting…. I run the BR8HS plugs. Never thought about the plug protector before

I have a 10 pack of B8HS if you want to buy them.

They still make a B8HS-10 and the BR8HS. If you need a resistor type plug run the BR8HS, if not the -10 will run the same as the B8HS.
They always have thread protectors from NGK.

There was a huge problem of counterfeit NGK's... even sold at big "box" stores.

Kinda makes you wonder how many Amazon NGK listings are legit?

Thanks for the offer 25 2stroke but I bought the BR8HS the other day.I called NGK Tech line again friday and she told me she was going to call NGK in Japan and would email me when she found out something.She wanted the code number and letters on the 2 B8HS i had bought and they were made in 2013.She also said some of the plugs will have a plastic sleeve over the threads in the little yellow boxes and the plugs that come in the blister pack wont have and thread protection.

Yeah they have 3 different part numbers for the same plug, one that comes in boxes with thread protectors, the shop pack that comes in Styrofoam, and the display packs that are individuals. I assumed you bought them in cardboard boxes not just loose singles, as that is how they are normally retailed. Thats why I said they always have thread protectors (in those boxes).
