I got a set of stock replacement plugs, put some oil in the cylinders cranked it over a few times and got most of the compression back - I don't think having your cylinders washed will save much gas - I double checked and he had the correct ones for his application - they had very dim spark compared to the stock replacement plugs


spark plug = low compression?? please explain

If you had a basic understanding of how the internal combustion engine worked, you would know this is a gimmick and at best would give you a couple horsepower but I would even bet against that

the unburnt fuel due to the lousy spark of the plug-of-the-week plugs washed out the cylinders and rings with fuel, now they dont seal worth anything

I talked to the head mechanic at our local GM dealership and asked him about these. He said that he has not played with them but that they will be standard in all GM products starting in 2010. They must be worth it if one of the big three adopts them.

Maybe it's ----. I read it somewhere else, but Google doesn't want to find it for me today...
