To perform effectively, an efficient car engine needs ample supply of cold air rich in oxygen along with the optimum amount of fuel with good spark caused by spark plugs. The better the quality of the spark plugs, the better would be the performance of the engine. Thus spark plugs play an important role in the engine tuning and really boosts your car performance.
It is essential to know the basic structure of a typical, good quality spark plug. The ceramic casing acts as a good insulator and The electrodes from the central tip and the negative end connects to the engine block of the car.The ceramic casing helps in a small explosion to occur at the tip. However keep in mind that a high voltage is used in such explosion to happen so care is needed when doing the electrical chores of the car and it is highly recommended to kill the engine unless necessary.
The most important part is the intake of air as it has a great affect on the combustion part of the process. Any obstruction in the intake will affect the efficiency of the burn. This is where the role of good quality spark plugs comes into action. Better placement of the spark plugs can really boost your car performance and with a slight acceleration, your car will start talking to the air. Placement of the spark plugs with a slightly wider gap has been witnessed as a good technique to enhance car's performance. One more effective placement to increase the efficiency could be to place the plugs along the side of the intake. At the top of the ceramic edge make a mark while the plug is out of the box so a trail can be seen as entering the engine. Typically all the plug threads are different from each other so if the mark does not line up with the intake just rotate it 45 degrees until it aligns with the intake. Normally the spark takes the shortest path so the gaps must be same all around when even working with the plugs having two, three or even four tips you will just have a single contact point.
