Re: +4 Platinum Sparks

["BMD" <eurocar@gci.net>]

I have had these plugs installed on over a hundred cars, personal, friends
and customers included. Everything from older Harley Davidsons through
domestic cars and on to every type of European car coming through the door.
The first car was my partners 87 5KTQ Avant. Even his wife (not always in
tune with the mechanical end) commented on smoother running. They all seem
to run smoother in the bottom end, in and out of idle. The only problems
encountered was with a couple of older cars burning some oil and one that
had an unrelated failure resulting in "carboning" the plugs so badly they
shorted. If the car uses any oil I stay with the Bosch ##DTC plugs
(available in 3,5,6,7&8 heat ranges - the 5 is great for a track car, the 3
for a overboosted turbo or race application).
