The only thing that makes a plug "hot or cold" is the amount of surface area the ceramic insulator has to disipate heat.


It's a fine line you need the heat to burn off deposits but you dont want the electrode to glow.

BTW...that plug is also known as an NGK 4554...available at the parts store w/ an Irish name for $1.59 ea...they may have to get them from their nearest warehouse or hub store, but usually by the next morning...
