FWIW. I’m a fan of the NGK’s too. I run them in my Camaro and my boat with a blown big block chebby.

I recently bought a 2015 Toyota highlander with 156k on the clock. It ran OK, but I pulled a couple plugs in the left bank to see if they had been replaced in the past. NOPE, the factory installed NGK Iridium plugs were still in there... The center electrode was worn about .004, but for the mileage was amazingly intact. It does run better, with improved throttle response and power.
Getting at the plugs on the right bank required removing the entire intake system and gymnastics to reach under the cowl... GGRRRR...

I would *NEVER* do that. Never use copper on oil or fuel lines. I almost burned a test car to the ground when the copper oil pressure line broke, dumping oil onto the exhaust manifolds. Lucky.
Another test car did burn to the ground when the copper fuel pressure line work hardened during a cold weather test trip. The engineer got out, but lost all his clothes, including his jacket. You could see the burn spot on the highway up by Grayling for many years.
You'd think the techs would know not to use copper....

I had gotten a referral for a good automotive photographer from Colin Comer. He was here yesterday to shoot 4 cars for me. While we were fighting harsh sun most of the day, we managed to still get some decent pics IMO

----My favorite pic is the straight on front one. Love seeing the headers and (I think) deep pan. Looks so cool! They are all great pics though....Bill S
