Are you an expert at runs well in a Civic? I can accept that the Bosch ones don't run well in the GM Gen 3 truck V-8s...does anyone know why?

i use a 1.5 inch extension for that plug. works good without too much sideways torque.
i have ran NGK's in my outboard motors for years. they are good plugs for marine and autos.
the copper NGK's are cheap and are supposed to work good too. they are only like $2 per plug or maybe even cheaper.
no reason to change out stock until after 100k miles, right? unless you have NOS or something
