I speak as I find. I fitted a set of 6 NGK Iridium plugs after suffering a high load misfire, which a new set of GM plugs didn't cure. The NGK's have been in for over 20k, still give an excelent smooth response, worth ever penny. :y

Interestingly I have been advised to install NGK BKR6EQUP plugs gapped to 30 thou prior to the LPG conversion. This is by the converting company....  :)

Have to say I am not a fan of NGK plugs in cars, maybe they do varying qualities I don't no.
But all my experiences have been bad when fitted to cars, especially in winter.

On the flip side, they are brilliant in my bike.
