I have them installed. Prior; I inspected old plugs, (autolite platumum) that had about 3000 miles on them that were ok, but did show some uneven buring. I then inspected the piston tops & cyilnder walls via a borescope. The walls were fine, but piston tops showed a little more carbon/improper fuel burn build up that I would have liked. So I gave them a try & then removed/inspected them after about 500 miles. The plugs showed very clean & even burn. All plugs looked exactly the same. The piston tops looked a lot better also. A more even & complete fire pattern. It looked like the piston tops had become cleaner. I did notice more power, but I also changed plug wires & a slightly hotter coil. I plan to keep them, I like'm. No gaping; just install & go  |

My son put them in a bone stock 93 T-Bird with a 5.0 engine. It missed badly. Put the old plugs in and it ran like a top. Took them back and exchanged for OEM plugs and never looked back.

Horsepower TV did a comparo between the E3's and standard copper core on a small block Chevy with modern FI in their dyno room. E3 plugs showed fewer emissions, better combustion and a slight increase in HP. Put them in my SPF long before I sold it and the plugs always looked clean and even burning.

They you go, somebody who has his own proof these are good things.
More power is the result of more complete combustion hence cleaner piston tops and chambers, with less carbon buildup.
I have them in one car, the others will get them one day.
The guy on the video should go back to mechanic school.
Cleaning plugs is old hat.
1/16 of turn past hand tight on the Honda?
1/16 is for taper seat.

Has anyone checked to see if the E3 plugs change the ignition timing, with whatever gap they are set at.

I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I may, out of stupid curiosity.

Thanks for the input Silversmith, I see no reason why not to give them a try.
