[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 1415612, member: 27518"] Dunno much about plugs.. if your engine is healthy/working properly, the plug should always be light brownish/gray... any other colour could mean varieties of things. I do not really know what the colours means.. but here's a random site I googled up. [url]http://www.verrill.com/moto/sellingguide/sparkplugs/plugcolorchart.htm[/url] I only know that if my plugs are of different colour, there's something wrong with the engine. .. so it's time to open it up and check. I know turbocharged and high compression engines need colder plugs to prevent pre-ignition.. (the plug head grows so hot, it ignites the charge before it's fully compressed.).. bye bye engine! For stock engines, I think it's only important to remember the gray/brown ash on the tip as being normal, and any other colour to be a cause for worry (because you wouldn't be using different rated plugs, would you?) I just use iridium plugs... with the same rating as the stock ones in the B16A. Never heard of autolite plugs.. haven't seen it too. RM25 per set??.. knowing the currency of the USD.. It's more likely.. RM25 for one plug... ROFL! [/QUOTE]
