Re: Platinum +4 plugs...

While it is true that the platinum plugs wear at a much lower rate 
they are a lot more expensive. I think it is a good idea to examine 
the plugs once in a while and when you have the platinum plugs you 
might never take them out. Also Rob Grady is noticing on cars that he 
had tuned up years ago with the platinum plugs, when he takes them out 
once in a while he finds that the procelin seal has leaked allowing 
the combustion pressure to blow-by. He no longer recomends platinum 
plugs. Most Deloreans are not putting a lot of mileage on so you could 
go for years on the standard plug and not wear it out. Chances are 
when you change the plug and notice an improvement you are only 
noticing the effect of a new plug properly gapped over an old, worn 
plug, not that the platinum is any better for performance, it just can 
hold a gap longer.
