Overview

The Denso 3381 K20HR-U11 is a nickel U-groove spark plug designed for improved performance. Its U-shaped groove in the ground electrode allows the flame to grow, leading to less dissipation and a larger flame front for more complete combustion. This design contributes to better fuel efficiency and improved throttle response.
Show original supplier description
The Denso 3381 K20HR-U11 spark plug features a unique U-groove design in its ground electrode. This specialized groove allows the flame kernel to expand more freely, resulting in less flame dissipation and a larger, more robust flame front. This enhanced combustion process translates directly into improved fuel efficiency and a more responsive throttle. Constructed with a purified alumina powder insulator, this spark plug offers exceptional strength and thermal conductivity. The five-rib insulator design helps prevent flashover, ensuring reliable ignition. A copper-glass seal reliably bonds the center electrode and insulator, creating a gas-tight seal. The center electrode is made of nickel with a standard 2.5mm size, and the ground electrode is also nickel with a U-groove type and a single ground electrode. Machine-rolled threads are incorporated to prevent seizing or cross-threading during installation and removal. Each plug is 100% pre-fired to guarantee the highest quality. Key specifications include a 14mm thread diameter, 1.25mm thread pitch, gasket seat type, 26.5mm reach, and a 5/8" (16mm) hex size. This is a resistor-type plug with a value of 5k Ohm, and the specified gap is .043" (1.1mm). Torque specifications vary by cylinder head material: 26-30 lb. ft. for cast iron and 15-22 lb. ft. for aluminum.
