The metal rubber in the seal groove is working surprisingly well. With grease-based products, you tend to pick up a bit of moisture when washing, and they seem to degrade more easily than liquid types. If you&#8217;re using silicone grease or jam-like products, I&#8217;d recommend reconsidering and switching to metal rubber MR20.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC01537.jpg\" alt=\"DSC01537\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/DSC01537.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/DSC01537-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><br \/>\nThe spark plug burn looked a bit off.
