Default Indexing washers for plugs...?

Anyone ever hear of using indexing washers for your plugs to kind of space them a bit from the cylinder so that they fire in front of the plug and not around it ?? someone mentioned something like this to me at work today and im wondering if he was a crack baby or not hehe

honda (and most if not all modern cars') combustion chamber design makes this much less effective than it is on poorly designed chambers (ie some older muscle cars). you can do it, but the difference will be VERY small, if any. you want to point the "open" side of the plug toward the "open" area when the piston is at TDC, so head/piston design will determine the plug orientation.
