Re: hotter plugs on hopped rebuild

[Len Sabatine <sabatine@epix.net>]

  If your'e into worrying about heat range , stick with the 43s , want to 
open gap to let's say
 .045 , use 2x platinums to minimize erosion, spiral core wire set helps 
deliver more of the
 spark that's been generated ,to the plug as well. If you want to get 
serious about Engine
 tuning , get into "reading" the spark plug color and watch for pepper on 
the insulator.
 Defaulting to O2 mv readings as a tuning tool can get you into trouble 
post haste.
 The art of reading plugs is the ONLY way to ascertain what's going on in the
 combustion chamber, a dead plug beat's detonation,  hands down.

crap on their
 hood , next week , everyone will have dog crap on their hoods." quote ,
