from what i understand the terms 'hot' and 'cold' refer to the ability of the spark plug to dissipate heat from the combustion chamber space into the head. its determined with the amount of ceramic surrounding the electrode. the more ceramic around the electrode to absorb and dissipate heat, then the 'colder' it is. the less ceramic, then the 'hotter' is will run.
