My friend, you can find your Bosch Platinum (remember to do get that spark plug gap right!) here for less, even with shipping, then I can buy it from the local store! Jan. '09: I've just finished installing my 6 Bosch Platinums and the engine's power is restored. I'm going to order 6 more here just to use the receipt to the local store and get my over priced charge for these back!
I've just finished being glad that I bought 10 for a 6 cylinder. Confused? I'll explain. I lost 1 under the hood somewhere and I measured the ohms of resistance on all of them to find 3 pairs of equal ohms resistance plugs, which I set on opposite sides of the V engine so that the lowest resistance plugs matched with the longest wire, which makes more resistance. And vice a versa, the highest resistance met up with the lowest resistance, or shorter wires.
I found this new new technique to have quicker results than tinkering with the spark plug gap in every plug off of the manufacturer specifications, but sometimes on tougher jobs you'll still need what your learned here on the controversial side of gapping to obtain the smoothest engine you did ever hear or feel. I know many mechanics that tell me I do too much when I do a tune up, but maybe they just need to realize that's why I'll make an identical car beat theirs off the line!

Who does not enjoy the feel of a well tuned engine? Oh, feel the performance, the sound, the purr of a well tuned Engine! If sparks and wires aren't enough to get that engine running smooth then you need to check out this next article telling what I learned from the Great American Jalopy, which applies to almost every car.
Need tuning because your car is old? Your car may be a jalopy. The Jalopy, The Great American is a great article, and jalopy is technically a dilapidated vehicle, but this article shows that it’s really the old great achievements and engineering marvels, isn’t it? Some of you really know what I’m talking about.
To find your way back to the home of this cite: Car or Truck Miles Per Gallon Or, go to my short article about the Spark Plug Gap. I also link here to many other projects of mine. You'll probably enjoy those websites more because this website is more of my attempt to learn html than anything else. My websites that use blogger grow much more quickly and have more fully written articles on a variety of subjects.
