A bad heat range spark plug can ruin your whole day and
lead to loss of power and a broken apex seal. I have formated
the thread on on this subject and uploaded it to the web site.

Thanks to Joe Hull for discovering this.
If anybody has anything else to add please upload your

Ok,
I've got a '93 13BREW, normally aspirated, with the original rotors-9/1
compression. The spark plugs I have in it are NGKs the leading splugs
are BUR7EQ(Leading), and BUR9EQ(Trailing). They are brand new, and I
think they are what are recommended as stock in the auto application.
Should I go to BUR9EQ leading and BUR11EQ Trailing?
Anyone?
Thanks

I would use them while you are running the engine on the ground.
When you get ready to fly install the colder plugs.

I run BUR9EQP on both leading and trailing, I tried running the
7s when I first flew it and it melted the electrodes off in short
order, the P on the end is for platinum and I have found that they
last much longer.
