The W7CC will wear the center electrode in ~15,000 miles. The 4477 really
have no wear at all. I have seen some fail due to the Platinum tip breaking
and falling out. Makes for a great miss fire.

Fols, how often would you change the W7CCs??  And the Bosch 4477s??  My
engine has 194000 miles on it and it still runs very nicely.
Cheers
Jaime
