Stuff on Amazon might be counterfeit

They've been fine for me. Put a couple of the GM walnut cubes in there.

Logic is the different expansion rates of the aluminum heads and the spark plugs.

Cold removal was how they came out. Second time I attempted hot but the stuck ones stayed in until the next day.

I highly doubt it. They are supposed to be installed cold. If they're stuck, removing them hot is supposed to be easier. Now, that is real a possibility. Barely getting to operating temp is not frequent but happens often enough. Thanks for the input everyone

Very unlikely, they're a legit shop, nearly everything they order comes from Napa or CarQuest. Timing belt kit was Aisin. The taper on the tip looks like real NGK, the counterfeits used to not get that right.

Send them to me

My LSA was leaking at the rear main by 40k

18000 kilometers...?

Today, on the L79 Chevelle SS. Using some header paint.

These were installed by a trusted friend/mechanic at his shop during the first timing belt replacement. Almost every plug was welded in, tight coming out the entire way. I have changed plugs that have been in cars for 15+ years and 150,000 miles... This was my worst removal experience...

Bought this before and it did not work well at all

In my area, in the last few years, alot of local PD's have all started having a cop well trained in the DOT laws because the fines they can write are much much much higher.

Oh man. That 4000lb caddy looks safe.

Well, it's not Brad Penn. Maybe a prior change had some dye in it to find an oil leak.
