NGK 8072 spark plug cap discontinued?

#1

Post by elslimdiablo »

A friend was having ignition issues that turned out to be the caps breaking down. I gave him the NGK numbers I've been using for years. He texted me that they have been discontinued. I've used the numbers 8072 and XD05 with the same result. Anyone run into this yet?

I saw that as well. I read a short article saying that NGK won't offer plug boots anymore. Does anyone have recommendations on another quality boot to use?
