i notice champs foul a bit esier, but as for bad plugs, I've actually only ever had 3 'bad' plugs.

had a champion , that right out of the box would not fire. was shorted internally.

had an ac delco not fire.

had a ngk not fire due to a cracked insulator that i could actually see.

as for the fouling out easier.. not a big issue to me.. I recycle ALL my plugs reguadless of brand nowadays in my plug cleaner. I have plugs easilly in service that are over a decade old.. whenever a set fouls or need cleaned / gapped, I just trade it out for a new set and clean those when the box gets full enough.

don't recall having a real plug failure in a few years now... last fouling was about 3ys ago.. so now I just swap clean plugs in yearly and keep the cycle going.. no issues that way.. not on champs, al's or delco's or ngk.. which are about all that I have in the system right now. In fact.. have more champs than anything kind of accidentally.

when TSC dropped the champ line a few years ago, in favor of AL, they clearanced all their champ plugs, and then tossed them nice metal dispensors. Out of 4 stores within driving distance, i managed to make it to 1 single store that had not already "TRASHED" the nice metal champion flip to, drop down dispensor. it had about 18 assorted plugs still in it, and the manager said h'ed toss it when all the plugs were sold. i asked if i could have the display if I bought all the plugs, he nodded.. so for about 9.54$ i got the nice display and a very good assortment of plugs. still using off those..

at 50 cents each.. I'm glad to have them.. no matter who's name is on them.

Today's Featured Article - Measuring with Calipers - by Staff. The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo ... [Read Article]
