Significant Technical Input
more or less--but also

Just like the smaller diameter of the iridium or platinum eletrodes let the spark jump the gap easier the smaller width of the iridium or platinum chips on the laser plugs lets the spark jump the gap easier.

Basically, most any plug will act the same upon initial installation, it's just that the ones with the harder, exotic metals just perform as well X0,000 miles down the road as they do new. Having a motor with plugs that aren't SUPER easy to get to, I just decided that getting a better one was a good idea.

I took a couple out the other night, and they had a good color to them and weren't worn too badly, and they are currently NGK's.

But I, never one to leave well enough alone, am changing them anyway.
