NGK TR55IX Iridium Spark Plug, Stock Number 7164, 5/8 Inch Hex, 14mm Thread
The NGK TR55IX (NGK stock number 7164) is an iridium-tip spark plug built on NGK's proven standard-plug platform. It pairs a solid copper core, prized for superior heat dissipation, conductivity, and a broad heat range, with an iridium center electrode tip for durable, consistent ignition. The ground electrode uses a standard configuration with a nickel core, and the plug body is treated with corrosion-resistant plating that keeps installation and removal easy over the plug's service life.
The TR55IX carries a 5k ohm resistor to help suppress ignition noise, a 5/8 inch hex size for standard socket fitment, and a 14mm thread. It is built as an OE-cornerstone design, reflecting NGK's decades of manufacturing reliable ignition components. Always check your engine and maintenance manual to confirm this is the correct plug for your application, and only install a spark plug as recommended by your engine's original equipment manufacturer, since using the wrong plug can reduce performance and fuel economy or damage the engine.
