They will be fine.  I run these on my Westy, which happens to have a 2.1 and
my 1.9 GL.  I do run W7DTC plugs when I can find them.  I find the engine
runs a bit smoother and a little bit of seat-of-the-pants power.  Can't pass
Calif smog with 'em for some reason, so I stick to WR7CC.

For those who aren't aware, this year Bosch has obsoleted production
non-resistor plugs, except for specialized applications.  Word in the
grapevine is that NGK will be following Bosch's lead on this.
