Read my spark plugs

These plugs have about 12,000 miles on them. The car is running great. I won't tell what mods I have or what the gap is untill I get a couple of reading opinions. Forgive the smudge on the camera lens.

Also, a quick question... How are the cylinders ordered/numbered. 1,2,3,4 from driver to passengers side?

Guess what your buying new sparks plugs because you can't re use crush washers. And well you can't install new ones on those spark plugs.

But yes they look great.

.026-.028 gap??

they look great.

you have a little knocking in one cylinder it looks like by the small deposits on the plugs ground electrode. notice how the others are clean. just a slight knock, not worth worrying about.

That's BS... Ask any tuner and they'll tell you that you can definately pull a plug and reinstall it without having problems with the crush washer. You can do it with the oil drain plug as well, you just increase your chances of leaking.
