I have about 9K easy miles on my Edlebrock Performer intake.

The plugs were 1/4" drilled per factory instruction,
They were very carefully contoured and tightly fitted when installed.

I pulled the manifold today Re: My short story long post.

And I found:

That the plugs were hammered and somewhat distorted, they were polished and elongated.

The bores were smooth and the bottom end of the bores were bright and depressed (both sides).

Obvious signals of much movement of the plugs.

THESE PLUGS ARE BADDDD NEWS
