Hi!
When I'm finished with my rebuild, I'll be putting in fresh plugs.
I've been advised on this forum that $1.50 copper motorcraft is just fine for our cars.
Now, the explorer motor I've salvaged heads and a cam from ran platinum.
Platinum is supposed to last for 100,000 miles,
Copper is supposed to last 30,000?
Is there a reason why platinum would still only last 30,000 in our engines (contamination), or if I spend the extra $25 on one of the less expensive platinum plugs (I surely don't need quadruple iridium imported from germany-- one can spend a LOT on plugs and it won't be me), will I be able to go 100,000 and never need to change plugs again?
