So that's why my idle has been "funny" (aka, when plugs go bad)

ok ok i admit, i needed rich's super human strength to remove the front lower plug and the one that shattered. my puny toothpick arms just didn't have the umph to break 2 of the plugs loose.
in other news, my new rims finally came in. i can't tell you how hard it was to get these in the proper offset...
think i'm gonna paint them gold or gunmetal.

I guess it's not mine either because I thought what he wrote.
Since you've alienated/pissed-off someone who could have answered your "why" question with authority, you'll have to settle for my opinon (FWIW)....
Karack mentioned earlier that ignition amplifiers will wear-out plugs quicker. I've never run one, but guessing that's the biggest reason for erroded electrodes.
Also, by design the combustion chamber of the rotary exposes plugs to the heat of the combustion event for a longer time period than a piston engine. Particularly the leading plugs and with forced-induction. So getting the right heat-range is more important. Too cold and they foul quickly, especially since one way or another there's oil being injected in with gas. Too hot and you risk detonation. Regardless, even with proper heat-ranges that oil will tend to carbon up over time. So we should be changing them more often.

I was trying to take it easy on you b/c I lived in Oki when I was younger, but you just earned yourself a short vacation chief. I suggest you take the time to research and learn a little and maybe you'll be able to answer your own rudimentary questions
