Re: IML: Spark Plugs

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have personally always hated NGK plugs.  This stems from my dirt bike as a 
kid that would repeatedly foul NGKs in about 1/4 the time of Champions.  I 
know they have a good rep, but that was my personal experience.  When you 
foul a plug on a 1 cylinder dirt bike 50 miles from home, believe me, you 
remember it because the bike won't start.  If you're lucky (after the 1st 
time) you carry a spare and some emory paper and hopefully you can clean 
them enough to get home.  I never heard a good explanation for this until 
recently when I read somewherethat NGKs are good plugs, but very susceptible 
to fuel fouling, so they are bad for 2 strokes like lawnmowers and possibly 
your particular car.  I have always used Champions and changed them every 
year whether it needs it or not and never noticed any problems, but I have 
to admit I am going to try a set of Autolite 85s in my 440 next change.
