14mm option, use this in place of your crush washer.

A while back, I ran a simultaneous comparison using a 2 channel data-logging meter. Engine was an AF16.
The probe on the plug measured up to +75 higher temperature. Also, it registered temperature peaks the head bolt location did not. My conclusion is pickup location will show different results when comparing your numbers with others.
