Re: spark plugs

I have used Bosch Platinumns in one of my GT6's for the last 5 years.  I
think they are the only part I haven't replaced.  However if the engine is
prone to burning oil they do foul quickly, they also clean up extremely well
and can be put right back in.  I have a set of Lodge Platinumn plugs for my
TR4A they also give excelent performance.  They have a traditional tip design
while the Bosch plugs have ceramic insulation covering the sides of the
platinumn leaving just the very end exposed.  The Lodges don't seem to foul
at all.  Unfourtunatly you can no longer get the Lodges and if you could you
couldn't aford them they must have .5g of Platinumn in each one.

I have used NGK's in my other vehicles for years because I bought out a local
parts store and got several cases of NGKs for pennies.  Both the NGK and
Bosch plugs seem to work well, the NGK's don't foul as easilly but they also
don't give as good of performance as the Bosch.
