I've run Champion, Autolite and NGK in my 340. The champions would foul out in 3 trips around the block. The autolites lasted about 5 trips. I put the NGK's in almost a year ago now and haven't had any problems since. I think I have BPR6ES if I'm not mistaken. I crossed the champion # that I originally run to the autolite plug first, then crossed that to the ngk plug. To my knowledge, I didn't change the heat range. I went by what the books told me.
