Is all B7ES plugs the same?

Got a set from ebay without thinking twice, b7es - 11
They don't have thread on ends, so I can't put caps on. Is that a wrong spark plug or what? Is this -11 means its' got "blob" instead of threads?

PS. I did think I can unscrew top to reveal threaded smaller tip but no. I pulled whole thing (unscrewed loktite from within ceramic) It looks like top contact is one piece..

Yeah, they make both types (or at least used to); threaded end and unthreaded.

Look for B7ES/1111 they will be removable top

Be careful ordering of evilbay. NGK has been known to be faked. Your better off ordering from your local auto parts

Is b7es just different number for 1111? When I search autozone for b7es they show 1111
Many places show numbers together

Is 1111 ngk is what I need then?

1111 is the item/part number. B7ES is the plug number I think. I ordered some and I know 1111 was on the item/part number.

I buy NGK plugs from a local NAPA store, that way I am confident I a will not get fakes, and can easily return them if there is a problem.

The 11 refers to the gap, ie, 11 =1.1mm gap.

Thanks, that makes sense because the B8ES have a part number of 2411
