I may be wrong but don't sound like the right plug. Sounds like the plug is a little too long. I'll see what I can find.

It truly sounds like you are on your own. If you are cracking the OEM plug, try upping or downing the plug
s heat range until you have found what works for your situation. Colder until they foul, hotter until they detonate, or run too hot.
