.060 not .60, big difference:drink:

Yeah using the wife's keyboard and hit a dot instead of a zero. Anyone that would have interpreted the answer as "six hundred thousanths" is...... well....

But, yes I stand corrected and the correction will help your post count. Otherwise why on earth would you bother with that?

I changed out my factory 'platinum' plugs at 250hrs. Boat idled smoother and seemed more responsive afterwards. 496mag. Old plugs showed electrode wear resulting in gap way off.

Auto engines don't run at 3 and 4k all day either. ;)

You know, I used to post on this forum a lot a few years back, mostly here in the tech section. Because of d!ck bags like you I stopped. I have helped out a lot of people on here over the years, there are a wide variety of boaters on this site and some do not understand the difference in those two measurements, believe me. You would never manage to get a plug gapped to .600 but some poor fellow may try and ruin a fairly expensive plug doing it. I do this for a living day in and day out and have seen a lot of silly sh!t over the years.

And by the way, I could give a sh!t less about my post count, I didn't even pay for a membership this year. I don't spend near as much tie hanging around this place as I used to and I realize why more and more every day.
