  I'm having trouble understanding the verbal description of "longer core
nose." Does it refer to a longer threaded portion of the plug, or is there
some difference in the center electrode causing it to extend through the
plug end further than the RC12YC? The latter doesn't make sense to me,
as it would seem to imply a hotter heat range.

  Hmmm, thanks for the warning. Were these the double or single platinums?
If I do bother to try them out, I plan on the double platinums. But I will
definitely heed your advice to check for wear after a few thousand miles.

  Later,
