zeitgeist57 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 1) Since I had the same Motorcraft plugs for Cleetus from BREAK-IN over a year ago:eek:, thought it was about time for a change! 2) Bought E3 spark plugs at Jeg's, $6 a plug for 6 of them. 3) Instantly regret purchase decision. Decide not to install them. 4) Drop them off next day, go get new Motorcrafts again for $1.59 a plug. 5) Realize I've got a MSD 6A box and Blaster 2 coil...decide to gap the plugs an extra tenth. 6) CLEETUS HAS NEVER RUN SMOOTHER. @ China-made E3s. CLIFFS: As I get older, snake-oil car parts lose their luster. My pride is left intact.:thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Why don't you throw some Zmax in oil as well? I heard it lubes up the internals and makes it run better! Ken Herring puts it in his car so it must be bad ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 E3 plugs made my tractor barely run. Joke plugs are a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 motor oil is the biggest sham. just use hose water. I do the same.. but use corn starch to thicken up the water a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I would have never mentioned picking up a set of E3 spark plugs on such a public forum if I were you ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I was about to ask what you thought of them before I got a few lines in. I've literally NEVER met anyone who's run them in their car so very hard to give a quality opinion. Though...if no one is wiling to run them, I guess that's the opinion!

zeitgeist57 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 When I was returning them, the two old dudes at the desk at Jeg's used them and both returned them. One guy said he put almost 3k miles on his son's Mustang with E3s and it started running like shizz. Pulled them and both electrodes had eroded severely. FWIW, old dood #1 says that Jeg's would've given me a full refund, even if the plugs were used. "Uhhh, yeah...I bought this Procharger kit and used it a season. Decided I don't want to use it anymore. Thanks!":lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Lol one has to wonder who didn't bother to tell you at the time of purchase to go a different direction...isn't that what we have parts people for? (loaded question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 A long long time ago I had them in my S10 for about 500 miles. Anything over 2700rpm and it would knock pretty bad. Put ACs back in and it's ran fine ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(loaded question) E3 plugs are on national back order. No ETA. How about a nice champion or NGK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
