There have been a few individuals on this board who have had catastrophic valve failure, requiring new valves or engines at considerable expense. I have found 3 people who have valve failure, and all 3 used platinum spark plugs! Seems like one of the tips will break off and get caught between the valve and the head.
PLEASE, check your car. Get the correct plugs.

I realize this may generate a lot of press, but I would rather not read another post about a dropped valve. Think about it,

Klaus
