Anyone ever had issues with champion spark plugs?

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Yes I searched, didn't see anything about champion, just NGK and autolite.

Got some copper, heat range 5 (plugs were fouling at a 6 heat range).

Thanks for the help guys

I wouldn't trust Champion in anything but my lawn mower.

Hate Champions, at least in my experience, they've always been crap

NGK is all you need to know!!!:icon_bigg

 

[xarewhyayen]

an instructor of mine @ school told us that champions were the worst thing to ever happen to spark plugs... he doesnt even trust them to a lawnmower. He said if NGK did his domestic applications he would use NGK's... swears by them. As do I.

ive always used ngk's apart from once when i had to use bosch. they were buggered after less than 1000 miles.

and da89soup who is that gay dude in your pic?

Well that's good to know lol. they were a cheap temporary solution anyway, just testing the heat range. I plan to go with NGK's soon

Anyone have a part number (autozone) for NGK coppers? I refuse to pay $9-12 per plug for iridiums, sorry.

Don't apologize about it, there's no benefit other than not having to change them often

Standard Champions work well in Dodges, and that's about it.

The Champion Truck plugs, OTOH, I recommend to anyone burning more oil than gas - as they are the most foul-resistant plugs I've ever seen

DO NOT USE CHAMPION BRAND ANYTHING B/C THIER FACTORY IS IN MY TOWN AND EVERYONE THAT WORKS THERE ARE F-TARDS AND F-UPS. HEED MY WARNING DO NOT USE THEM!!!!!!! THEY RE-USE OLD DIRTY OIL AND MARKET IT AS NEW STUFF AND THEY USE THE WORST MATERIALS FOR EVERY PRODUCT.


TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!

Ive always looked at Bosch as being the worst, I guess Champions a good competitor for being the worst

What do you mean??? The smurf, the car, and Richard Simmons are all gay!!!!!:biglaugh:

 

[tookwik4u89]

Champions are gay too.....good for a lawn mower....nothing more, next worse = Bosch.

I ran Champion plats. on my 89 & it ran fine for a short while. Started to miss
so I pulled them & found the ceramic insalator had cracked on two of them. #5 plug fell out of the socket in 2 pieces.

HAHAHHA!! You guys dont ever see Richard Simmions over in the UK? Lucky bastards

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Hmm, well the reason I went with them (other than being cheap) is because that's what my dad ran in his Chevelle back in the day (~850whp beast) and said he never had any problems with them...*shrugs*

Lawn mowers? Fwiw Champions are the number one plug in aviation and have been for over 60 years. Millions of people trust their lives to them every day. In fact they're one of only two plug manufacturers approved for use in most aircraft so yeah, they must be clueless about how to make the things.

YAY! Jetjock, one of the few people on SM who's advice I would trust without anyone else's input!

Thanks JJ
