    "as for the gasket, the hotter that explosion is the hotter the combustion chamber gets. if the gasket that's hanging over into the combustion chamber gets and stays hot enough it will be like having another constantly-firing spark plug inside the combustion chamber and you will be subject to premature combustion of the air-fuel mix... or detonation."

    I understand that. I don't understand why a copper plug of the same heat range as a non-copper plug could have any significant effect on that.

      Moral of the story: Shut yer weenie-washer and mind your own business.

      okay, i imagine i'll be seeing you again in around 10 days, with a slightly nicer attitude? :rolleyes:

        i don't understand why, but copper does not spark as hot as platinum. heat range for heat range, the spark is slightly colder.

                But, even if that was true, the heat of the gasoline burning is _huge_ by comparison. So how could the spark affect the gasket?

                I'm honestly not trying to give you a hard time, I'm interested if there's something going on I'm not understanding.
