Title: Spark Plug Recommendation?
Post by: elbrack on April 14, 2014, 03:23:21 PM

I searched, but only found reference to NGKs and Bosch, but no specific part numbers. Not sure which to go with. Which NGKs are good?

Thanks.

I've used both the 2 prong and 4 prong NGK plugs without any problems.

Stay away from Bosch ones, particularly the platinum line.

I used both in my engine and there is literally 0 difference.  I bought both NGK and Bosch from Pelican (two prong NGK and four prong bosch).  No change in gas mileage, performance, wear/tear on plugs, or start ups after 5000 miles on each.
