but they’ll give you better gas mileage!

- or so says the Advance auto parts guy after telling him 4 time i wanted NGK TR55’s, he still tried to push the Bosche’s on me… i had new plugs/wires put on the LT1 once, and the mechanic put Bosche plugs in… car never idled the same again … always just shook you around a little… but after that ‘tune-up’, the car always shook and studdered at the same time… i got used to it, but it drove me nutz for a long time

This isn’t an isolated incident with regards to failures of the Bosch Platnums. I have decided to stay away from them.

Did u messure the heat with a gun or your thumb? How hot was it? What was the temp on the tranny and motor? Was it cloudy? Is ur name george?

U know all of this info has a play in the way ur combustionable chamberage of your header gasketise was running and acting of the exact point of pressure and there for causing the slight leak of pure iraqi oil. Don,t u george?
