Long-reach, thin-electrode type iridium tipped spark plugs are used. This type of spark plug allows the area of the cylinder head sub-assembly which receives the spark plugs to be made thicker. Thus, the cylinder head water jacket can be extended near the combustion chamber, which contributes to improved cooling performance.
Iridium-tipped spark plugs improve ignition performance while maintaining the same durability as platinum-tipped spark plugs.
