these are my plugs after 23k, how do they look?

exhaust mbc at 1k
intake 5k
mailin at 10k
custom tune at 20k
meth at 22k

about 30-40 gallons of 110 and c16

just changed to new plugs after my meth tune to fine tune since i figured they were beaten up.









cheers!

If you're posting to see if theres any indication of engine failure, looks pretty good to me.

The way you accurately read plugs requires special tools so you can look all the way down into the plug. It also requires you to shut the car off immediately after a hard pull. You can't tell just by posting pictures of the electrode tip although most people on here will try and read them and tell you your horoscope.....

I agree. Looks like a pretty good burn, and no coolant or color indicators. Mine were the same after 2 plus years. famaliar pics.

lol love the horoscope part... ya i know your right.

i just read somewhere that the color and buildup will usually tell how the motors running. i've been putting some stress on it lately and just wanan make sure everything is okay. the fact they all look the same is good news. so i can assume all 4 cylinders are working equally. im getting a compression test done when my friend has time to bring of the machine thing and do it since i've never done it be4.

cheers!

how often should i be changing these with meth? i was told every 20k stock, im modded and slacker. bad combo

can i usually just pop one out every 5k and look at it? or could they be going bad without looking like they are?

I use Bpr8es(copper) with alky @26psi and i switch them out every other oil change. They are fairly cheap as well, like $2.50 a piece from extremepsi.com
