Interesting..  and as I and others mentioned in earlier posts,  yep you 
can have problems with the depth of that ground electrode.  Did you ever 
try the NGK plug minus the "P"?  (i.e. a B6ES)  Lack of that is the non 
extended plug, shorter length and thereby supposedly no valve banging 
possibilties.. 
Still have the set of  BP7ES's I marked and had to buy 6 of to get a set 
that index right. Haven't found a local store with non extended tip ones 
yet...
