Hey, lookit! Those look real nice, and the exchange rate is favourable for North Americans: bout a hundred bucks (USD) for the set, delivered.

Hey, and those won't deform if you tighten the spark plug too tight like the originals do. I wonder if they seal around the head better. If they do, can we still call them drool tubes?

Those DO look nice!

So less likely to deform because they are thicker at the seat where the plug meets the head?

Far out. Thanks for posting. I should really count how many spares I have and get them in one place...

That is my first thought.

Then my second thought is will the added thickness relocate the tip of the plug in the combustion chamber enough to make a noticeable diffeence? Would running ZFR5N plugs be even more advantageous if running these thicker tubes?

Those look very nice. Pretty cheap price for machined pieces.

I wonder if they will have any effect on the plug heat range.
