NGK site lists a surface gap plug to replace your UL77V or QL16V Surface Gap Champion plug. It is:<br /><br />NGK--BUHXW-1

I would stick with Champions in that motor. I agree with R.Johnson -- what are you running now and why do you want to switch?

doodl...I don't know how you run this motor, but if plug life is extremely short using the proper plugs than you have another problem that isn't gonna be fixed by changing the brand of plug...just a Thought
