I have never heard that one before. I personally would not use anything but
them. If you install them, you will probably never have to change them
again. Probably why the mechanic does not like them because he never gets
to do the job again.

My marine mechanic recently told me not to use platinum plugs in my boat
(Volvo Penta 5.7 raw water cooled). He says that they run too cool and
tend
to get fouled as a result.

What is everyone's opinion on this? Has anyone experienced problems with
platinum plugs??
