I have never heard of anyone indexing plugs on airplanes. Which plug would you index? Maybe both? Many many years ago when I was racing a Corvette I tried it a few times, but never could tell any difference. Maybe I could have seen a difference on a dyno, but could not see or feel a difference by driving. Besides, it was time consuming and sometimes hard to find the right thickness of washers to get accurate indexing. But hey, I think you should try it on your Jabiru and give us a tech tips report on your results for the newsletter.
