DENSO GK3-7 Iridium Saver Spark Plug for Natural Gas Engines

DENSO-webDENSO has announced its GK3-7 Iridium Saver Plug for natural gas engines. Available now, this plug features a 3-prong design to physically block rapid gas flow allowing the proper spark to be generated, which translates into improved efficiency and superior performance.

Other DENSO technological advantages include:

Monolithic Insulator Structure: DENSO uses this design to improve reliability while providing stable performance.

Stress Resistant Monolithic Resistor: this design withstands the high combustion pressures to deliver reliable performance while eliminating interference to electronic equipment from high energy coil noise.

360-degree Laser Welding: creates a seal so the electrode resists wear, even under extreme engine conditions.

DENSO’s Patented Iridium Alloy: dramatically improves ignitability while maintaining longevity.

High Dielectric Ceramics: feature finer grain, molded in higher pressure and higher density compared to conventional ceramics to prevent electrical breakdown of the insulator.

Nickel Plating: provides superior corrosive resistance compared to zinc plating.

“There is no doubt about it; the trend toward natural gas engines is here to stay and will only continue to grow as EPA regulations tighten,” said Fran Labun, vice president, Sales Group, DENSO Products and Services Americas, Inc. “This product supports the new green natural gas technology that has become the favorite of many municipality transit buses, refuse vehicles and taxi cabs.”

Carrillo Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods for Ford 7.3L Godzilla

These pistons are forged from 2618T aluminum alloy and machined on dedicated CNC machine cells to tight tolerances. 2618 aluminum has a lower silicon content than other alloys. That makes the pistons stronger and more ductile—perfect for high-load, high-stress applications like superchargers, turbochargers, or nitrous oxide.  Other features include:• Rated to handle up to 1,500

Fluidampr Harmonic Damper from Summit Racing Equipment

The factory harmonic damper on your modern GM, Ford, or Mopar V8 are ‘tuned’ to absorb what’s called torsional vibration in the engine’s normal operating RPM range. Performance modifications, particularly ones that increase torque, produce added vibration in an RPM range that the elastomer damper wasn’t designed to handle. That vibration will accelerate component wear,
