the last thread had somthing about bosch platinum 4 spark plugs are they really worth 7 bucks a piece? and why?

 

Do not use Bosch...for your own good.

 

why? they make ford parts.. they specialize in them..

 

I've read too many horror stories about Bosch spark plugs in Fords. I'd stick with either Motorcraft or Autolite.

Not sure what products Bosch makes for Ford, but I'm thinking it's not plugs.

 

read this thread and tell me what you think of it..
1992 F150 Flareside 302v8 this is where i got it

 

thats why i asked to begin with.. lol

 

Maybe it's just the 4.2, 4.6, 5.4's that they aren't any good in. I know out of several F-150 sites/forums I've read tons of times that Bosch plugs were not good in Ford trucks. Not sure, like I said maybe the 5.0 is a different animal when it comes to plugs.

I'm guessing the price you were asking about is due to them having more pins on them??? Not really sure...

 

i like to use Accel U groove plugs...the seem to make mine run better

 

Bosch too xpensive. If the same energy is delivered to a plug it does not matter if you use the most costly plug or a cheaper plug. AC Rapidfire plugs are good. They last a while in both my big block and 302.

 

The Bosch platnum plugs are crap in anything, not just Fords. I helped a buddy change his plugs in his Nissan and after pulling them out it wasnt hard to see what the issue was. The electrode had discentegraded in 3 out of 8 of them and they were only 8 months old. I have also had the same experience with them years ago in a Dodge I owned. They are not only Not worth the big money they want for them but they could destroy your engine!! Motocrafts,NGK,Autolites are all good spark plugs in my experience.
