So, I see in the pic that the plug tips are all in differing orientation. Would there be any " spark hooding" disadvantage from this as far as delaying combustion burn and proper flame for power and performance?
Are all spark plugs threaded the same way, resulting in a standard orientation for the electrodes and threads, so that when torqued to spec they all line up the same way?
Should this be, or is it already something a machine shop looks at when setting up and matching heads for consistency?

I believe that after extensive testing it has been scientifically proven that an engine with the spark gap unshrouded and all the electrodes lined up produces .00000000000000000000000134158% more power :D :D
