[QUOTE="Pete Appleton, post: 4516, member: 145"] [b]Plug Blasting[/b] Stuart Modern plugs don't seem to take well to sand blasting. I would suggest that you go back to the NGK plugs but use BP6ES. The important thing is the 'P' in the part number, this means 'Protruding' and refers to the centre electrode and insulator. The electrode is moved out from the partially shielded position into the combustion area and as a result tends to stay cleaner. There is plenty of clearance on a standard setup but it is worth checking before you kick it over. It could be said that this is only masking an underlying problem with your sooting up but the other great advantage is that they are a very common car spark plug and can be bought for about £1.50 each from motor factors. You can certainly buy a lot of them for the price of a spark plug cleaner. [/QUOTE]
