WHOA...our engines are insane

i bought a b14 from a forum member a week ago and did a full service on it...when i pulled the plugs this is what i found....p.s. they are autolites

horrible pic i know but you can see the one electrode is TOTALLY gone..the rest are almost the same...my boys across the street at goodyear havent seen anything like it...i replaced with ngk's...runs a LOT better

I'm back at work in Antarctica for the season. If you need anything I am selling or a step-down harness please be patient as we do not get access to the internet often.

If you’re curious about the field camp I'm at this year Google "Pine Island Glacier" or check out the weather cams we have set up there (Cam A & Cam B). Yes, I know its nothing but snow and flat white, welcome to my world...

I installed Autolites in my 98 Legacy GT (properly gapped) and got a misfire within 500 miles. Replaced with NGKs and A-OK.

No more cheap lugs/wires for me.

Se-riously, NGK copper plugs are so cheap you would be a fool to buy any other inexpensive plug.
