If you ran IK22s in a normal engine, you might find that they don't get heated up enough, and therefore are more prone to fouling up with carbon deposits. Similarly if you ran IK20s in a turbo'd engine then you might find you are more prone to pre-ignition.

Dave Hi guys should be getting my tools for x mas and then the new plugs soon thereafter. I read on a website that u have to set a gap for the plug. if the gap is to big or small it can cause problems. Can anyone shed any light on this thanks in advance.
Dave.
Most sparks come pre set now so it shouldnt be an issue

cared:You should be ok if you've only got the key in the "ACC" position, i.e. just so the radio is on. Make sure the ignition isn't on at all though.
