Ok, so you're saying that you would still recommend copper
over platinum for a stock engine. That is the opposite of
what was being recommended in mid 2000 on the list.
Basically you can get a tiny bit more power from the copper
plugs but they don't last as long as the platinum. So the
concesus was then that if your engine is stock and you want
longevity, go with platinum. But what I want to know about
is the source for the information that a couple people
stated that platinum plugs are BAD for the 4.7. I need to
know more details rather than just a statment that they're
bad for it. C'mon folks!!! Help me please!!!
