Did anyone even notice the date of the original post? Over a year old, I would think he got what worked by now, lol :lol2:
Spark Plugs
Sorry if this is a repost, I can't find anything about it when I searched. I have the water injection that I'll be installing here within a half an hour. It suggests copper spark plugs over double platinum. I guess for the temperature to convert the water into steam?
Anyways Autozone only has platinum plugs and wouldn't sell me anything else because that's what ford recommened. I went to the dealership and they were trying to get me to buy some single platinum (wire plugs?) that were 4.80 a piece.
To get copper ones with a 1.3-1.4mm gap am I going to have to order them or buy some and regap them? How much is a spark plug gapper cost? ANY advice would be appreciated.
It will be installed today either way, but for the fuel economy the coppers are suggested. Thanks.

Platinum does not last too longer. Copper only last about 30k and platinum last about 50k. Not 100k like Gm, Ford,a nd other say
I have personaly seen Motorcraft Copper plugs last well beyond 100k miles, they shouldn't but more than a few dozen times I've done tune ups on customers cars with the original plugs and 6 digits on the odometer, and still running decent.
