neither really..
as I said, I don't think the electrode style as any significant affect
on CR.
and someone would have to CC the combustion chambers to really find out.

and wbxr engines are not prone to pinging at all,
and I think you are worrying about nothing worry-able.

It's always fine to go with what Dennis recommends.
I don't always agree with what he says...but he is coming from
considerable experience  with good intentions.

like if he says 'the factory engineers planned it out really well' ..
yes.
And who ever has needed to worry about pinging in waterboxer engines ..
no one that I know of.
  'obsession' perhaps ?

like this ..if you are 'all worried' ..use dead stock.
OR ...try something like this and see how it goes.

that makes sense to you, right ?   I hope so.
