i've been running the W7DTC for about 60,000 miles now and love them. :)

yup. they are a tiny bit longer, but do not interfere with anything in the
combustion chamber.

so far, i'm very happy with them. but 50,000 miles is TOO long to leave them
in ... the electrodes had been pretty badly erroded ... worn enough that the
gap had just about doubled. but now, they were still working fine, even in
that condition. :)
