About Spark Plugss

An important component of the ignition system, Chevrolet spark plugs provide electrical current to the combustion chamber in a petrol engine. The spark produced ignites the engine enabling the air/fuel mix to burn in the cylinders and combustion to occur.

Spark plugs are an insulated plug, made up of a copper electrode, surrounded by either nickel alloy, platinum or iridium and covered with a ceramic casing. The spark plug is fixed to the cylinder head in the engine to provide the spark required to ignite the air and fuel that flows into the engine. There will be a spark plug for every cylinder of the engine. 

In this type of ignition system, the high voltage electrical pulses which are needed to supply energy to the spark plugs are provided by a magneto. A magneto is made up of a magnet which spins around inside a coiled wire, positioned in the inner rim of the flywheel, which is connected to the electrode inside the spark plug by a spark plug wire. The magneto generates its own magnetic field of energy which is used to power the spark plugs in order for combustion to occur. Spark plugs also function to take heat away from the combustion chamber by transferring the heat produced in the engine to the cooling system. The materials used in the spark plug help to transfer the heat away from the combustion chamber to outside of the engine. Spark plugs can be either hot plugs or cold plugs. Hot plugs are insulated more than cold plugs which helps to maintain a high temperature within the spark plug which burns off carbon deposits meaning the engine components ultimately work better and last longer. The advantages of cold plugs being less insulated, is that this allows for greater dispersion of heat away from the combustion chamber, and these are generally used in high compression super-charged engines. 

It is important to ensure the spark plugs on your vehicle are in excellent condition and working well. Signs that the spark plugs may need changing on your car are an engine that struggles to start or will not start at all. It is always a good idea to consult with your mechanic when engine problems strike, to make sure the correct fault has been identified. When you need to change the spark plugs, a good quality set of Chevrolet spark plugs will guarantee a part that fits well, performs properly and has a long service life.

Chevrolet trivia

• There's a version of the Corvette that is very different from its counterparts. The Corvette Grand Sport is much lighter than traditional designs, but the car was built at a time when General Motors were stopping projects. Only five of the cars were made, and the hefty price tag of £6-8 million means that they are all in the hands of private collectors.
• The founder of Chevrolet held the speed world record before he built the Chevrolet Motor Car Company.
• There have been some classic Chevrolet cars on the big screen. It's hard to forget the Tom Cruise feature Days of Thunder without thinking of the Chevrolet Lumina, but there are also Chevrolets in the classic American Graffiti. That film had a stunning 1958 Chevy Impala and a Chevy 210. Of course, the best Chevrolet cinematic appearance was clearly Michael Bay's Transformers, with Bumblebee being a '76 and a 2010 Camaro.
• The Chevy is one of the most popular cars in the world, and Chevrolet took part in their 100th anniversary by embracing their popularity., They created online playlists of the hundreds of songs that feature Chevy cars, with tracks by Prince, Bon Jovi, Don Mclean, Elton John, and many, many more.
• If anyone ever tells you that they own a 2006 Silverado Intimidator SS, there's a good chance that they're telling porky pies. This is considered to be the rarest of all Chevy trucks and was built to honour the memory of Dale Earnhardt. He died during the 2001 Daytona 500, and only 1,333 were ever sold to the general public.
