Not sure which NGK's your referring to.....

I use the NGK UR4GP/#2869 spark plugs in my 78 peanut plug head with no problems. Click on the red link below my name for pictures of the plugs after 55,000 plus miles.

Dozens of people with 225s have had zero problems with spark plug to piston interference with the extended tip NGK plugs.

As long as you aren't running zero deck it shouldn't be a problem.

Is your engine modified? Stock the pistons will be down the hole .140 to .180"

Lots of room. Gobs.

The ZFR5N works great up to 8.5 or 9:1. Beyond that, it isn't a clearance issue, but a heat range issue. With 10.7:1 I run ZFR6-FIX-11 Iridiums, though they are not extended reach.
As your compression exceeds 9.5:1 go colder. :D

Has your parts guy ever torn down a 225?

I just put them in my 225 a few weeks ago and no problems.
