98 V70GLT and 94 850 base - same spark plug?

Post by mtrdrms »

So I have new plugs in a 98 v70 turbo with a bad head gasket. Can I swap them into my 94 850 N/A? They are OE volvo plugs and they're basically new. Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Andy

They will work just fine. Be sure to gap them to 0.028 and error on the tight side. The OEM non turbo plugs are a different design but the turbo plugs work perfectly so long as they are properly gapped.
