Re: New type Spark Plug

That is a tricky feat though. Multiple mis-timed flame fronts can cause detonation like symptoms. Imagine those clacky balls on a handle. When you get them swinging right they clack perfectly, get one out of time with the other and you have a hard time gettin em back in unison. I dunno, probably one of those technologies you would have to see to believe lol. 90% of the crap out there with incredible claims all boil down to the same thing. If anyone can make a buck on a gimmick they will. Like P.T. Barnum said - "There is a sucker born every minute" Bosch platinums don't use a big enough electrode, it is the size of a clicker pencil lead, or smaller. They break off almost instantly and ANY amount of gas can foul the fking things out. When I worked at an independent shop I used to change those things all the time. The #1 complaint was that they cost like 4-5$ a plug.
