Default TR6 Maintenance

Hello everyone.....

How many miles can colder plugs, like the TR6s, handle before they need to be changed?

I have mine with a 75 wet shot for about 6000 miles now do I need to change them any time soon?

Thank you...

pull them out and inspect them, then you will know.
If they are gapped at .035/.040, I would say YES.
For a whopping $2 each, Get them out of there.

I pulled mine out after 10,000 miles and they were still ok, I changed them anyway with new heads but I would have guessed they had another 4 - 5 thousand miles in them
