35mm, make sure you use brass if you order anything other than OEM. I've always had troubles with the steel plugs so I use the brass with brown Permatex.

what makes the brass ones better? I actually used a steel one, and i used some kind of indian gasket maker. Made by permatex..

And the only reason i used the steel one was all the others were steel. I had a issue where 1 blew out. But i would like to use these brass ones, i am just curious why they are better? And who sells them?

My machine shop installed steel ones with a paste sealer on the mating surface. I'll be really surprised if one leaks, i was there when the owner installed them in my block and it took a good pounding to get them in.

Have Oreillys look them up for a 91 Eclipse, that’s all I did. $1.99 or something a piece, never had trouble with using those but someone else’s experience may vary.
