Really!?! It doesn't... I mean yeah of course it doesn't. Everybody knows that. Does my experience as a mechanic shine though yet? I guess you learn something every day on this site.

White99stang MM's nicest mod, :) Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: elkridge, MD Posts: 2,850	just make sure the motor is cold, changing plugs when the motor is worn causes the threads from the heads to come out with them, trust me on that. __________________ Have a Nice Day, Especially MSO 99 Mustang GT VT 302 Stroker 11.13@123 f.s. 9k 06 Dodge MegaCab Diesel 455rwhp/815rwtq

I have seen far to many bosch plugs end up rattling around INSIDE the cumbustion chamber...

Everyone I know runs either NGK or Champion...And of coarse motorcraft on the stock cars...
