Guys,
Personally, and professionally, I don't put 'Murican
plugs into anything! NGK or Denso (Japanese) are the
only things I install, except, of course, Lodge plugs
for the Italian cars I service (and even there, NGKs
work well). Bosch used to be good, but I believe that
their quality has taken a nosedive over the past 5
years, so I don't even bother with those anymore.
Regards,
Ben Pender
