Has anyone used the Bosch Platinum 4 Electrode Spark Plugs ?
These plugs are available at a good price in sets of 16 on ebay.
Some years ago, I temporarily used one of these multiple electrode plugs on my Harley that had a leaking valve seal that kept fouling plugs. The hotter burn would clear the foul, until I had time to replace the seal. Plug did a great job, but one thing I did notice is that it made the engine run hotter, and not just by a little bit--not a good thing on an air cooled V twin.
If anyone has used these, did the engine run hotter--any problems--any pro/con info ?
