James,
When you fitted the Halo plugs, did you replace a relatively new set of the
correct grade of another known brand of plug, or were you replacing a tired,
old set? My 25 years of experience working on MGs for a living have shown
that any new plug will out-perform an old one.
My 4-gas analyzer demonstrated once that a set of new NGK plugs
out-performed a set of Split-Fire plugs, in terms of completeness of burn of
the fuel mixture. At the recommendation of another lister, I tried a set of
the fancy Bosch plugs that have four electrodes. In my engine, they
performed no differently than the 2-year old NGK BP6ES I removed. No
increase in fuel economy, no change in performance.
So, the expensive plugs that are touted as a cure-all, magic solution to
ignition woes are usually just another way to lighten your wallet.
