Interesting...Someone should email him and ask to spread the word on those "Anti denotation" spark plugs...It sounds like he should be willing to warranty the engine against blowing up...

BAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


OMG


OK...ok...ok


Im guessing the spark plugs them self are anti-detonation. Spark plugs can get so hot that they can ignite the fuel before the controlled spark. that is what he means. In aviation as well as racing sparkplugs can be considered hot ot cold. Hot plugs are for high compression engines and cold plugs are for low compressin engines.

um they're made of wood, and the engine never starts, thus never allowing itself to destruct.

Don't know just my guess.

He's probably using ultra cold plugs, which absolutely suck for street driving. All the heat leaves the plugs and goes into the housings which causes crap to build up on the plugs.

Still won't stop detonation from overboost/lean mixture.. what a dolt.

That saying needs to be put on the shirts. It would confuse them even more than explaining your car has a rotary engine.

I saw that car on e-bay and thought the same thing. "What the _ _ _ _ are anti-detonation spark plugs. Dad quit lying about the spark plugs.
