The NGK BKR6E (Stock No. 6962) is a V-Power resistor spark plug featuring a projected nickel centre electrode and compact 16 mm hex. It uses an M14 × 1.25 thread, 19 mm reach and typically a 0.9 mm gap, with NGK heat range 6. The copper-core electrode promotes efficient heat transfer, while resistor construction helps suppress electrical interference. It is primarily an automotive and small-engine plug rather than a common conventional outboard plug.

Cross-Reference Information

  • - NGK: BKR6E
  • - NGK Stock No.: 6962
  • - NGK Iridium: BKR6EIX is a related Iridium-family plug, but application should be checked before substitution
  • - NGK's historical conversion catalogue includes several cross-reference relationships for BKR6E / 6962, but NGK cautions that cross-reference data alone should not be used to establish engine compatibility.

Important Fitment Information

  • BKR6E should not be confused with BCPR6E, BKR6E-11, BKR6ES or BKR6EIX.

The BKR6E designation indicates

  • - B – 14 mm thread
  • - K – compact 16 mm hex configuration
  • - R – resistor
  • - 6 – NGK heat range 6
  • - E – 19 mm thread reach
  • The plug is a long-reach 19 mm design, so it must not be substituted for a 12.7 mm short-reach marine plug simply because the thread diameter and heat range are similar.
  • Also check the required electrode gap for the exact engine. NGK notes that incorrect gap can affect combustion and engine performance, and the manufacturer's application specification should be followed.

Signs the Spark Plug Needs Replacing

  • - Difficult starting
  • - Rough or unstable idle
  • - Engine misfire
  • - Poor acceleration
  • - Reduced power
  • - Increased fuel consumption
  • - Carbon or oil fouling
  • - Worn or rounded electrodes
  • - Excessive electrode gap
  • - Cracked ceramic insulator
  • - Corrosion around the plug shell
