I proudly own 2 pignoses. and i was trying to figure out how the car lot's mechanic had put too long of plugs in one of them. I thought he must have been a dumb**** since they were hitting the pistons. Well, now i know.I work at advance auto and i went to pick up NGK plugs for my car and they were too long. The same size as what was in there before.If going to advance auto,Autolight and Autolite Platinum Plugs are correctChampion and Champion Platinum Plugs are correctbuthave them cross reference Autolites for BOSCH Platinums OR NGK's if you want themthe system has the wrong #s in there and you'll have dented and possibly cracked pistons when you use them---Emailing corperate tonight about it... i am a disgruntled employee!Im not sure if this has been gone over before but yeah-Paul
