Spark plug in 460

[Toby]

If I replace a 6 dollar Bosch plug with a 2 dollar Champion, am I doing something to jeopardize the saw? It doesn't seem to have any less power.
Auto parts store selling Champions is much closer then the nearest place I can buy a Bosch. Just wondering! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can't tell you if it will harm the saw, But i have never had any luck with champion plugs in anything. They seem to foul out quick. Just make sure the numbers match up.

How often are you changing the plug? I don't find a need to change mine much at all (if using quality plugs), so distance to get a new one every 2-3 years doesn't matter to me.

I have had issues with the poor thread quality (roughness and plating) of Champion plugs causing damage to the threads in an aluminum cylinder head. Another-words, when removing a Champion Spark plug, there will be a better than average chance the threads in the head will come out with it.

Man,That would make ya mad. I have never liked champion.

Baileys has them cheap

Baileys has the plugs cheap $1.75 and if you throw in a few more things
you won't even notice the shipping they have a better price than I can get locally as well... The dealer where I bought my saw gave me what they said was a direct replacement for the WSR6F well the spark gap was totally different and since I had other trouble with them that was the straw the broke the camels back and I moved on..

I don't know if it will tear up your saw or if you will even notice power wise but you spent the dough on the good saw I'd use a good plug..

$6 Bosch plug? I thought we were expensive at $3...

 

[geocom]

$6 bones here too

That is what the dealers try to get for them around here too
6 dollars they are very proud of them that is for sure

We mostly sell NGK for saws and have had excellent luck with them.

$6?? ... even if they buy them from stihl they are way over MSRP..

Damn, that's 2 cents per hour if they get thrown at 300 hours.

btw... Cost is way less than a $1.. in 100's... buy a lifetime supply to get your prices down

My McCullochs all have Champions in them... No problems. My Stihls all have $1.75 Boschs from Baileys.

Bosch or NGK, forget the rest.

NGK is my choice first, Bosch second choice.

Copper colored never-sieze on plugs going into any aluminum head (I use it on steel/iron heads too).

Hmmm....what about the Battan death march?

but ngk had nothing to do with it, bosch did make the gas ovens for the nazis.

its funny you bring up bataan. while that was a discusting act, we treated japanese POW's just as poorly. history is always written by the winner so it will never be a popluar screening on discovery...
