Review my sparkplugs!!!
Do these look normal for 8-10k miles on E85 (used 90% of the time)? They have about 4-5 road race events on them as well.


Far left would be the front (side with the cam gears) of the engine.

Look galvanised and on the way out. Starting to miss yet? Other than that the pix are WAY too far away for a semi proper read.

Color has very little to do with E85 plugs. Its finish for read and if there is some splatter from aluminum or melted straps. The look like a fence, toss em.

Yeah, Aaron is right! look at them in the sun for tiny little silver colored (aluminum) specs. You can even use a magnifying glass. The aluminum would be from your pistons.
