Re: Bosch Silbers good?

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Platinums are actually best to use in an engine that runs rich or burns 
excessive amounts of oil as they are self cleaning. That is the one and only 
advantage to having a platinum plug. I have used the f6dtc's in my rocco and 
they foul in about 3 months. The platinums (4418's?) give me about 6 months 
of use before they start to foul.

Yes I know I need to rejet my carbs. Time machine anyone?
