Thanks for that input. a number of my fellow modelers have had bad experiences with fake Chinese plugs. I shall order the CM6.

While we all refer to the NHK plug as a CM-6 and that is correct, NGK's actual stock number is 5812. Many people can't find these plugs at auto parts and other outlets because most of their listings only refer to the 5812 #. If you just ask for a CM-6, you might get that 100 yard stare from across the counter.
A well trained parts associate would be able to cross reference the #'s. OReilleys Auto Parts sells them all day long for $3.65 a plug. Make sure to check the gap, .020-.022 before installing.
