NGK Spark Plugs

  Spark plug is a device which creates an artificial bolt of lightning in the combustion chamber of an engine. It transmits the high voltage electricity to ignite a spark which further fires the air and fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of the engine. This spark starts the combustion process which eventually powers our cars and motorcycles. A good spark plug results in the smooth start of the engine along with the better fuel economy which eventually results in the longevity and good health of the engine. Nowadays there are different kinds of spark plugs available in the markets to choose from i.e. copper, platinum and Iridium spark plugs. Copper Spark Plug The copper spark plug is the most commonly used spark plug as it is the cheapest among the three. In copper spark plugs the outer material used is nickel-alloy which wears down easily because of the high pressure and the high heat generated in the cylinder of the engine. This wear results in the fouling of the spark plugs ...

  There are so many misconceptions and myths about the spark plugs , that they cannot be crammed into one. So let us continue debunking a few more myths about the heart of the engine of our vehicles. Copper spark plugs are better than Iridium and Platinum spark plugs This myth is based around the fact that Copper is a better conductor of electricity, hence it can provide the electrical spark in a better way. However, this is not particularly useful when it comes to spark plugs. Iridium and Platinum are preferred because of two main reasons. They are good conductors of electricity as well. And the second one being, they have a higher melting point which makes them efficient even while operating at a higher temperature that a spark plug experiences. Fit it and forget it The implication of this myth is based around premium spark plugs. According to the myth, all the benefits of a good spark plug like lower emissions, better performance of the vehicle, decreased fuel consumption are pe...
