RE: Re: 16V Spark Plugs/Bosch +4s -Reply

[Jonas Karlsson <jkarlsso@metabolex.com>]

I put the Bosch Platinum +4s (4 electrode) in my 85 8v, and after a 
month, I started missing on one cylinder. Replaced with triple electrode 
copper core Bosch's and power has been great since. 

Dunno if it was isolated to me, but I'm not buying them again.
