Noticed something strange while changing spark plugs
I'm not sure what caused this? Any input would be appreciated.

Maybe the dirty chamber for the plug on the left......

Could be a bad plug boot...

Is is dirty or not painted? If it is not painted I would guess they missed it at the factory some how.

Were looking at the chamber on the left. I'm not sure if it was always like that or just happened? I'm refering to the paint.

No. It's a mod where they bore out the hole for a bigger plug. Bigger plugs = more powa!
haha j/k

^Why's that. Did I ask a dumb *** question?

I'm sorry I was just concerned why 3 of my chambers looked the same and 1 was not.

OMFG who cares. If this really bothers you just take the valve cover off, strip it, and have it anodized to the color of your choice.

if you're referring to the missing paint on the valvecover, then mine is like that too. don't worry...it's just poor quality control...nothing we haven't seen before.
