Time to replace spark plugs in the everyday cars. Close to 60K on each and never missed a beat since we've had them, but it seems like a good idea - and yes, I've regretted that statement before =8~0

Are you sure its time? Lots of car now come with "100k" mile plugs. I am pretty sure the Yukon is one- my 2001 GMC C3 pickup had them. They handle high temps better and stay sharp longer. That makes

Both the cars you're working on have platinum plugs from the factory. (Well, they're likely iridium or yttrium or palladium, but the idea is the same.) Use what the factory used. Make sure you get th

And if they're platinum or whatever, I guess I'll check them first. They should still be fine, right ? I suppose blasting those plugs is a bad idea, in that it'll round off the corners where the spa

Blasting plugs was never a good idea :-) _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Shop-talk mailing list http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo

Really ?? Why does Champion (among others) still sell plug reconditioning equipment ?? During the several years that I was blighted with a Mazda RX-2 (from new), I'd have gone broke without a plug b

OK, Karl, I don't know about aircraft plugs and the reconditioners that are for them. The little sandblaster bags that JC Whitney sold were a bad idea. Yeah, they removed all the crud that your Wanke

I've got one of those. I use it for the plugs in the tractor and the Land-Rover. Which is why you file them (with a spark plug file, duh) after you plast them. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com __

Rounding isn't an issue if you file (or preferably stone) the electrodes carefully after blasting. Those little blasters do the same thing that (that portion of) the $1,000 Champion machine does. It'

Assuming you're not having problems with them missing, or hard starting, yes. But if I pulled them, I'd replace them. You're somewhere approaching the end of the expected life, they're a pain to get

Platinums, etc last longer but do not perform any better. On my 4-cylinder Nissans, they were trivial to get to. So I preferred to by plain ones (NGK for < $2.00/ea) and replace them more frequently.
