Best spark plug debate of 2016

[CoreyB]

I know this is kind of silly but would still like to hear your opinion and why?

Also What gap do you run?

 

[jk14]

NGK .020-.025 gap. Because champion sucks.

 

[jake wells]

i use ngk plugs they 10x better than champion.
0.35 gap.

NGK has the only plant(last I checked)left in the USA. Bosch made in China now. I purchased some Oregon plugs (for chainsaws)and they seem pretty good, made in the Czech Republic. I still have a couple old German made Bosch plugs I'm hoarding for something special. Champion forget it, wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw the damn thing, Split fires do not live up to their marketing hype. I have NGK's in every motor I own. Why? Cause I can trust 'em. I gap plugs for saws at .020".

 

[CoreyB]

I have heard some brager about E3 But I have never ran one.

I got some Champion plugs cheap on clearance and have put many hours on two in two different saws and they have been great. I like them. Denzo if I want quality, NGK only if the it comes with saw and I have no choice. I gets over a 100 hours with a plug, they tend not to fail or preform poor. The only brand I had issues with were NGK ones falling apart. I've never used Chinese plugs yet. I've seen folks change plugs like underwear but IME they last a long time.

In the newer saws I run NGK, Champions in the vintage stuff.

.025 all the way around.

 

[P.M.P.]

NGK all the way.Years ago used to use only champion they came stock in the Dodges and they ran better with them.
Denso Them Japs make a good spark plug

Ngk or denso for ne. I gap per machine specs and had great luck. Only plugs I had fail was torch, splitfire and e3 all others been good to me.

I run NGK in my small gas engines. They're better than Champions.
Usually Bosch in the big stuff.

 

[Cut4fun]

My choice isnt there. Bosch.

I used to run NGK and Bosch. Till I had multiple 10paks of NGK with bad plugs from new. I swore off ngk after that.

That doesn't surprise me. I talked to an old guy couple weeks ago who retired out of the Autolite plant in Fostoria. He said they would make a million plugs a day . Some bad ones could slip through fast.

 

[cus_deluxe]

Ngk for this guy. Every golf course where ive worked (a bunch) has used ngk in just about every application of OPE with no issues for a long time.

 

[beaglebriar]

NGK for me. Husqvarna saws just run better with them.

 

[stihl saws]

Only NGK here. I use to run Bosch until they started making them in mud huts. I'd only use a Champion for a door stop.

 

[CoreyB]

Wow ngk has an overwhelming vote. Wonder why the local dealers push Bosch? Maybe higher profit margin?

 

[junkman]

I think the ones the saw shop hands me say bosch on them .So i guess those ?

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

I'm going to compare an e3 to ngk to see if there is any performance difference. According to all the advertisements the nhra is into the e3 plugs so it's either a better plug or some ruse for profit.

 

[exSW]

Think about this. The spark plug is the last thing in your ignition. If anything else is weak the plug is going to reflect it.

 

[Motorhead]

If they have spark,I use them.
