Cool SPARK PLUGS MYTH!

Hello everyone!

i wanted to share this experience with you guys about the spark plugs mileage, me and few of my friends agreed to test the plugs after 6k miles without checking on them, we raced almost once or twice per day with 1 day as a break and we just tried to put the plugs on their limits!
there was this myth that was going around the neighborhood that if you rev the engine to the max on a mustang you decrease the lifespan of a plug by 1%, so rev twice and that is 2%... i know it sounded fishy but i got anxious about my engine health so i decided to try it out to see if its true or not.
i was surprised that the plugs looked fine and re-usable! yes there is a little carbon buildup but that is normal, there wasn't any chips or cracks on the plugs, i was really impressed by the quality of the motor craft quality.

i am not advertising anything! i am just sharing the experience with everyone here and i would be happy if anyone shares their experience too pics would be amazing.



thanks guys, and do let me know what you think about this myth
