Overview

MASSIVE ELECTRODE SPARK PLUG

Aviation Spark Plug With the most automated manufacturing processes and the most innovative spark plug in the aviation industry. Made in USA.

High Conductivity Copper Core Center Electrode copper, co-extruded inside a nickel alloy sleeve ensures outstanding heat and electrical conductivity while the nickel sleeve offers high resistance to corrosive combustion gases.

High Alumina Ceramic Insulator high mechanical strength, superior dielectric properties, proprietary protective glaze, provides high performance to conquer severe operational conditions. "Clean Collar" massive electrode "V" tip focuses heat to reduce fouling and enhance heat range control.

Proprietary Glass Center Seal 21st century 'fired in' resistor replaces the multipart screw, spring, carbon pile stack up used in competitive plugs and known to suffer from resistance value instability that can cause misfires, wasted fuel, engine roughness.

Nickel Finish environmentally preferable electrolytic nickel provides outstanding durable finish, superior corrosion protection, and extreme wear resistance.

Nickel Ground Electrodes aviation grade nickel electrode design focuses on minimizing sparking voltage requirements while maintaining specification gaps to ensure large, stable 'flame kernels' for on-time ignition and complete combustion.

Vacuum Infused Center Electrode proprietary, vacuum infusion process seals electrode/insulator gap providing stable heat range and superior center electrode cooling (heat flow to the insulator).

Hot-Lock Assembly intense pressure and heat create positive, zero-leakage, shrunk in seal between insulator and shell to contain the hot, high pressure combustion cycle gases.

Harness Wire Contact smooth, uninterrupted, oxide treated spring contact surface offers enhanced corrosion resistance, is chemically bonded to the fired-in resistor providing the ultimate harness/spark plug termination integrity and energy transfer.

TEMPEST PLUG UREM40E 12 PK

October 24, 2023

My first experience with Tempest spark plugs. Upon receiving 12 urem40E spark plugs I checked resistance in each plug, they were all in specifications (500 ohms to 2,500 ohms for new plugs). The lowest reading was 745 ohms and the highest was 1445 ohms, most of the plugs were around 1,325 to 1,345 ohms. The plug gaps were all within specifications (.015 to.021). I regapped all plugs (.015 to .018) and installed them in my Cessna 172 with a Continental o300 engine and they are all working fine so far (2 hours). The Champions I took out had about 500 hours on them and all were within resistance specifications and all were within erosion tolerances and all were serviceable spark plugs. If the Tempest plugs match the Champions performance, I will probably stay with the Tempest plugs due to the $10 price difference per plug ($120 total savings).

Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: Does Tempest provide the copper gasket on the UREM40E? Or purchased separately?

Each Tempest spark plug will come with one copper gasket. Any additional gaskets must be purchased separately.

Q: Is the Tempest UREM40E the equivalent of the Champion REM40E? I hope so as I have just ordered 8 UREM40E's?

Yes, the Tempest UREM40E is a direct replacement for the Champion REM40E. Both with work in the same applications.

Q: Does the Tempest spark plugs include a gasket?

Yes, the plugs will include the gasket.

Q: Am I correct in assuming that the UREM40E has a hotter spark than the UREM38E? Also, will the UREM40E give a better burn rate with the hotter spark and maybe not become lead fouled as bad?

The higher the number the higher the heat rating position will be. so the UREM40E vs. UREM38E, the 40E will be the hotter plug because 40 is larger than 38. Hot plugs have relatively long insulator noses and, therefore, a long heat transfer path. Cold plugs have relatively short noses that thus transfer heat more quickly.

Q: What is the Tempest equivalent to the Champion REL37B plug?

Tempest does not have a replacement for an REL37B spark plug.

Q: What is the difference between the URHB and UREB prefix on the Finewire product number?

The H and the E refer to the barrel style. H prefix is shielded 3/4-20 thread and the E prefix is 5/8-24 thread.

Q: What size copper gasket is required with the Tempest UREM40E plugs, 14 or 18mm?

18mm

Q: From your Tempest spark-plug price list: how can I tell which plugs are 5/8-24 and which are 3/4-20? (example: UREM40 p/n 08-00048 vs 08-00049)

"E" designates 5/8"-24. "H" designates 3/4"-20.

5/8"-24: UREB37E, UREM37BY, UREM38E, UREM40E, UREB36S, UREM38S

3/4"-20: URHB32E, URHB37E, URHM38E, URHM40E, URHB32S, URHB36S, URHM38S

Q: The Champion chart calls for a REM40E in a Continental W-670 while Tempest calls for a UREM38E. Why does Tempest call for a colder plug in the same application?

The heat ranges actually overlap each other. You can use either one.

Q: My champion spark plugs are RHB37E. What is the equivalent in the Tempest brand?

The equivalent is the URHB37E. For singles, use part # 08-00247, ad for 12 pack use part # 08-00247-12.
