some of those plug readings are ok for your moms station wagon,i'm not to impressed with the guys theories. :roll: he doesn't even show you a air-fuel ring at the base of the porcelain to go by.

The article's author is a novice plug reader at best. His theory on heat range versus plug reach is completely in left field, not a good article guys.
