There are counterfeit NGK plugs circulating. Not sure how to check for origin on them but I bet that's what you have there. Some of the larger chain parts stores buy plugs from some jobbers that sell the counterfeit junk NGK and Denso user for 38 years without failure. Gus

NGK only for me for the past 20+ years. No issues ever. Nothing against other brands really, just more familiar w/ the NGK numbers.

Some of the larger chain parts stores buy plugs from some jobbers that sell the counterfeit junk That is the last thing we need. Real businesses buying conterfeit parts and selling them to us. It is bad enough that illegal crap manf exist in the first place. Just trying to change spark plugs turns into a nightmare.... It would be nice if somebody knows how to spot them, if possible.

He told me wgat plant and when made amd if real. Also said they do not copy-fake copper or nickel one's. But plenty of fake iridium ones. To buy from a real place. That Summit Racing is authorized source, and Rockauto gers them from one and is also safe. I like how the coating NGK puts is easy to read. Ford spects NGK so does Honda. The Honda small engine stuff i have us Ho da boxes with NGK If i can't get NGK it is Autolite

Just an FYI... NGK is likely going to buy-out DENSO for spark plug future production... according to certain business news. DENSO forsees the future of internal combustion engines declining.. so their potential exit from that market.

Only NGK for me in all the racecars for the last 20+ years.

NGK is the factory plug for all the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers. Never saw an issue such as the OP posted over decades of experience with them.

I saw a "reel" on Instagram that showed how to unscrew and replace the tip on the ignition wire end with a solid core tip. They said their example is specifically for a Mopar. The replacement tips can be re-used again and again in fresh plugs. Not sure where they get them, but figured some of you guys know.
