I know a lot of us use the NGK B-4H plug with good success, but I recently encountered an issue. I was test assembling an M motor, no gaskets in place. I am using a .030 longer rod in this motor and found that the piston hit the spark plug. I installed a cylinder gasket and had clearance. This led me to measure the spark plug thread length. This measured 13.3 mm to the tip. I pulled out an Autolite 295, this measured 10.5 mm. I then looked up the specs online and found that an NGK B-4 is really the replacement for the Autolite 295, not the NGK B-4H that we usually use. Without the longer rod, this wouldn't matter.
