<<I've had exceptionally good results with the Bosch tri-electrode plugs
(WR7DTC) in my 1.8 bar engine. Is there any possibility that your
particular plugs were not the proper heat range for your car?>>
My plugs are also WR7DTC. They look fine (not burnt, etc) with the
exception of the one with a cracked insulator. (Just as a point of interest,
when I bought the car it had a set of Bosch Platinums in it... one with a
cracked
insulator... different cylinder (#5 vs #1).
Car is '85 UrQ, K24, IA Stage One, wastegate set at 14psi.
