...im just thinking by the looks of it ...you best be sure which plug you wanna run ...because you may be limited .....if it pisses fuel with an o.d. plug then im gonna have an assload of odonells plugs to unload ...one things for sure the results will be posted this weekend .....

i dont know which page it is on, but someone a while back actually measured out all the different plugs, the only one that matched the grp plugs were the os plugs, i havent had a issue with a p3 i change mine out around a gallon of fuel, havent had one go out on me during a race, if you run the grp plugs make sure you run the 4 the engine acts a little finiky with colder plugs

Well, I would guess that the change in plugs and subsequent leakage would be due to a tapper and length issue between plugs. I would only trust that OS has the same tapper as GRP, based on the measurements proven in this thread. No one, that I recall, has proven an OD plug to fit the same tapper or length. Maybe I just don't remember correctly, but I thought Novirossi and OD were interchangable, and that novirossi didn't fit GRP head period. I could be wrong, it's been 5 months since i've researched. So please do not take my word as gold, and feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. Hell, running that P3 is probably why my GRP had a sucky bottom in my truggy

yeh mine came with a 4 ...i just dont even trust it after i helped break my buddies in ...and the grp plug wouldnt lite out of the box new ............yeh on the measurments ...the guy who did it only used o.s. and grp plugs ....no other plugs were measured ....so i mean really the other brands havent been measured by a mititoyu drop gauge ....not that they need to ....just saying .....

can you tell me the exact ignitor that you used? i have raced mr ninjas for around 2 years and i thought that i had a bad plug, but my ignitor wasn't strong enough. i use a hot shot2, burns really hot and works great on mr plugs. seriously, i thought i had a bad one out of the package. i changed the battery in my ignitor to a brand new d cell and it still wouldn't glow, tried a friends hot shot and bingo, it wasn't bad after all.

i noticed the grp plugs take alot of voltage to fire up also, the os fires up even if the glow ignitor is getting low, wasnt cool when i would go to start my car for the main and the engine wouldnt fire up, had to look around for different glow ignitors to see who had enough juice left in theres to fire it up

for anyone wanting to put the glow plug question to rest ...it is rested ...the odonells plugs work perfectly in the grp motor ...no problems at all....put 3 tanks on it today to get started breakin it in ....after dumping the way overpriced and non working out of the box grp plug it was smooth sailing ...the motor stayed at 217 degrees for most of all 3 tanks ....never missed a lick ...my buddy over at my house even said ...my god will that motor ever quit idling .....
will probably get the rest of it done tomarrow ....will post on how it goes ....i should be putting some video of it up on youtube tomarrow night ....
