Bernd,
For those of us running a complete aftermarket igntion though, we want to
find a "cold" plug correct? Here is what I read on some web page: "if your
vehicle will be predominantly driven at high speed, a colder plug will help
prevent the spark plug tip from overheating and causing pre-ignition. On the
other hand, if the engine is worn and burns oil, a hotter plug will reduce
spark plug fouling by burning off oil deposits." My engine doesnt burn oil
at all......so once again, I want a cold range plug correct, I guess. So if
I go down to my auto parts parts store and ask them to cross reference plugs
with Champion RC12YC plugs, they should be able to tell me what ones they
can get/carry and what 'heat' ranges are available, like cold or hot plugs
for my application? I am just trying to understand this whole thing
better.....and get a list of possible plugs to look at amd consider. All I
really really know is that I should stay away from platinum spark plugs. So
far the list contains Autolites and Splitfires, but that's it really. Any
others to look at?
