A hotter plug runs at a hotter temperature (transfers heat more slowly to the
cylinder head), and is more likely to contribute to detonation.  It will also
show less deposits and be less likely to suffer from carbon fouling.
A colder plug runs at a colder temperature (transfers heat more quickly to the
cylinder head), and is less likely to contribute to detonation.  It will also
be more likely to hold deposits and more likely to suffer from carbon fouling.
