i doubt they do it to lawnmower plugs, bit of a reach.

i already said no harm in doing it, just it will not be noticed, thus a waste of time.

it was a hyperbole

have you personally side gapped the spark plugs in anything you own and noticed no difference?

yes, in dodges, chevys, fords and then i got tired of doing it for such a small difference.

i do not care if you do it, or any others, i do not think we all have to agree with you.

why doesn't every vehicle made have side gapped plugs if they are so good?

Splitfires are junk. The electrical current will take the path of least resistance so it will only travel on one of the two possibilities anyway.

likewise. I respect your opinion and value your experience, but we get neither with a simple one line response of "waste of time."

Sidegapped plugs do not last as long, which is why it's not done mainstream.
