I searched the forum as well as the WWW for info about indexing washers for our bikes. I'm coming up empty, save for the limitless supply of 14mm washers. Where can I find what I need? What are the part numbers? And why doesn't Brent carry them? His oversight is keeping me from giving him my money.

yeah, I went to the closest Advance Auto Parts near my office during lunch today, considering that the link about indexing that BonnyUSA provided was the Advance Autoparts website. Both of the people looked at me like I had grown a second head when I asked them about indexing washers and indexing in general. I felt kinda sheepish as I left.

With the location of our plugs, I doubt the indexing will make any real difference. But I am proud of you guys for reaching! Try a genuine speed shop that carries Moroso products. If my memory serves me, Moroso was the last brand I used a few years ago.

Moroso and CSR seem to have the market share of spark plug indexing washers. However, all I'm finding are 14mm for race car/truck plugs.
My concern is that opening the spark up like that will ultimately scar or pit the piston head or cylinder wall, which I have heard about with too-powerful ignition systems.

Index washers below the indexer on Cyclepages.com. And these instructions from Advance Auto Parts own page!

I assume you're talking about side gapping, no? Cuz indexing doesn't do anything that just screwing them in normally might well do. It;s just chance as to where it's pointing. So i see no reaon indexing would matter. if you are talking about side gapping, well, i'm no expert by any stretch, but i do know that unlike hot ignitions side gapping doesn't do anything like that. It just re-directs the spark so that it fires more directly at the mix in order to burn the fuel more completely. I don't see why that would be any different than simply burning more mixture as when you jet riher with more air intake. the only difference i see is you get more or less the same effect as burning a larger mix but you're getting that same burn with less fuel. I'm just speculating via common sense, and maybe someone can right me if i'm wrong. But thats what it seems like to me. Side gapping, indexing, pipes and air mods with jetting.....it all seems to me just a way of getting the most out of what you have more efficianly. None of it is anything like running a turbo or nitrous etc.
