Pulled 1 plug this morning, thought you car nerds may enjoy it. Plug on top is one that i removed after 60k of use..the one on botttom is after around 20k use

I've never seen sparkplugs with an electrode that is a loop welded to both sides of the threaded body.

What did they come out of?

Yup, out of my 2007 Mustang 4.6..and while the one above did not break...2 of the 8 did when i replaced them last year...the Lisle tool is freaking awesome

Champion bragged that THEIR replacement spark plug didn’t break. What they didn’t tell you was that their plug was wore out at 20K miles.

Too bad Denso and NGK don't make iridium plugs for this application

Rock Auto has SKP iridium plugs for your Mustang. I would actually try them if I was ever had a 3V Ford. Iridium is a MUST if at all possible, and Autolite and Champion don't know how to make spark plugs anyway, so the SKP can't really be any worse, only better

The originals were the tough ones to remove..from now on it will be easy since i dabbed a tiny amount of anti seize on the housing

 

[Barkleymut]

So i am fine with using platinums that should be fine for 75k+

Here are the original plugs out of a '15 Honda Odyssey Touring with 125K.

The infamous Ford 3-valve spark plug design that likes to leave the bottom half of the plug in the motor when you remove them. What a wretched design, I cringe every time I see one.
