I switched to irridium plugs and have fewer problems. They seem to go
longer between needing cleaning. They last virtually forever (2000
hours plus). Careful not to sandblast them too much as they are
delicate.

I'm not Jay, but the flat side goes to the cylinder.

Jay,

How should they be installed the first time? There's a flat side and a
rounded side to the washers - which goes toward the cylinder and which goes
toward the plug?
