I've always used NGK BR8ES plugs (solid cap) on both my 503 and 582 engines.
Today a friend showed me NGK BR8EIX (solid cap) plugs which he's just started using. NGK claims that this Iridium fine wire plug causes smoother idling, faster spark resulting in quicker engine starts, and less fouling. He's used it for about 5 hours in his 582 and says that the claims are justified. The plugs are twice as expensive as the BR8ES, but have a longer
life. (Just how much longer he didn't know.)
Do any of you have experience with these plugs, and what's your verdict?

I have to run Iridium plugs in my HKS. They last over 200 hours and come preset at the right gap. For the 582 consider that Iridium is brittle and you will need to close the gap down to .016/.018 for the 582 ignition to fire it efficiently (it comes set at .036 or so). One tap too many and you get to buy another twice as expensive plug. Up to you, but the BR8ES works good and lasts a long time.
