The NGK's I just put in are the equivlant of HR8's. Bye the bye, I noticed when I pulled out the old spark plugs that they had a reddish coating on the tips. I once saw a chart showing different wear patterns on spark plugs and what they mean. I -believe- the red stuff is MBTE fuel additive. Can anyone confirm this for me? Lastly, I drove the DeLorean to the State Department (work) today. So far, I'm thrilled. Ice-cold, she fired right up with a perfect idle. I had power right out of the drive way and had a great run to work. The morning was cool and crisp. I had washed and blended it yesterday so it looked great. You should have seen the guard's face when I popped the door for a garage pass. :) --- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "John Hervey" <john@xxxx> wrote: > Bill, The HR9 is a pretty hot plug's for the oil burners, but that temp > should keep them pretty clean .
