Has anyone ever tried side gapping there b8es plugs as in cutting earth tang back to edge of the electrode and setting gap 10thou less and at a 4( degree angle ? Apparently this allows the spark to ignite the mixture better ? Any body got a view on this or ever tried it cheers Pete

Erm... No. Some went off on an Indexing tangent a few years back Another Interesting idea that proved pointless
Sparks emerge from the sharp metal edges of the electrodes.
Is most all one needs to remember.
Easiest approach if wanting to explore this v slight power advantage is to fit a rare metal Plug, which typically have a Thin electrode

I'm running BR8EIX plugs in mine, which are the NGK Iridium (rare metal) variety. They run OK but can't say I've noticed any obvious power differences over the normal B8ES plugs. There is a big price difference though. Not worth it in my opinion.

Be surprised IF you did notice a power increase.
What those do is to give that Fresh plug feel/snap every time you start it... for a V looong time.
But like most minor mods, the effect becomes accepted as the new normal,, V quickly / almost instantly even.

BR8EG plugs are a good compromise/upgrade and cost only slightly more than the standard ES plugs.
If you have resistor caps, you will want the non-resistor plugs (B8EG), otherwise you will be losing a bit of power via the 2 resistors (cap and plug).
