I'm looking into NGK spark plugs and found regular and platinum. What are the differences and how do I know which one I want or need?

platinums last longer, but coppers provide a better spark. go with the coppers. i believe they were NGK 2262 or somethin. they come pregapped, so just remove the old ones and stick in the new ones. i went to kragen, told them i had a 99 integra LS and they got me the plugs i needed. all for 7$.

You should have the water pump replaced at the same time as the timing belt. The belt has to be removed to replace the pump and you'll save a lot on labor costs if you do both at the same time.

Thanks for your advice.
