Unless you're running side-gap plugs, first contact will be between the 
piston dome and the ground electrode, essentially shutting off that plug as the 
gap goes to zero. Busting up the ceramic inside won't necessarily shut down 
the plug sparks, if the ignition is energetic enough. I'm still thinking an 
over-lean mixture at higher rpms causing detonation. Good luck- J Deryke
