I agree with you entirely!
I was pretty much just saying that even if they were comparable, this logic is still flawed because Sparkplugs are a regular maintenance item, while a HG obviously shouldn't be
I wasn't pointing out the obvious regular maintenance objective of spark plugs when I mentioned them, just the fact that they are made of copper and have to put up with everything Dirgle mentioned. That was it.
I'm just somewhat frustrated at the pessimism shown by some members. Skepticism and pessimism are 2 different concepts. Now, I'm not pointing any fingers or making any accusations, but whoever feels offended by this is probably guilty then (if the shoe fits.....).
Anyhow, if this has been used on other cars, then it means it is completely plausible to do. Yes, our 7M's are different engines to GM's and the such, but they are still 4 stroke engines. Our 7M's didn't come from Uranus (pun intended) nor were they made out of plastics. If it has been possible to use copper HG's in many other cars with success, then there is actually a chance that it'll work on ours. Sure, these won't be as strong as the steel ones, in terms of pure strength on their own. BUT, if they get the job done properly, and surely they will do a better job than stock units, then why not be at least somewhat positive? If not just neutral? Or maybe just a bit skeptical.....
But I don't see any reason for negativity.
"But our 7M's are different." Aren't all engines different? This is definately worth a try. If it doesn't work, then fine, it didn't. Although people will gloat, but w/e. Cheers to you for winning an argument over the net :biglaugh:
Ok, but back to being serious. Even SME Duane is fond of the idea..... I'm sure that counts for SOMETHING!
