Years ago I got into the practice of taking a magic marker and drawing lines down the backside of the plugs (opposite the gaps), have a bag of plug washers and keep changing them out until I get the markings to line up so that the gaps face as close at the pistion domes as I can get them. Can do the same thing if heads use washerless plugs by having a couple of spares. It really isn't as time consuming as it sounds, and if one doesn't line up in one hole, it often does the next. Does it help? Who knows, but am sure it's cheaper than buying those things, and that's good enough for me. Sandblasting and re-gapping the tips instead of buying new ones works fine too. By the way, has anyone seen that "OnStar" commercial where the kids refuse to get into the car with their mommies until they get with the next level of child safety and get new cars equipped with "OnStar"? I walked through the fields and woods to school many times as a kid (was fun gettin dirty), but if I had any kids and they ever pulled that "OnStar" demand with me, I'm pretty sure I'd drive them to the orphanage, open the door and tell them to get out or shutup.
