Spark plugs

[John S]

These are a couple pictures of the spark plugs. I pulled out of my 350. Just curious to hear some of your thoughts are on how it’s burning. I personally think it’s fine, better than most.

They look good to me, any issues??

None at all the exhaust pipes are clean at the exhaust tips. Those are R43S spark plugs, a colder spark plug than what is called for. I was curious what some of the people on this forum who are more knowledgeable on engines than myself would think.

John, they don't look horrible but you do not specify how long (miles or time) they have been installed, incase that would enter into someone else diagnosing how they look.

They look fine for the most part. They appear to be burning evenly, without any major oil fouling, or one ugly duckling that looks completely worse than the others. 

As Rob asked, how many miles?

Looking good! 

Thanks, now I feel like I need to look at mine.

I replaced the spark plug wires in 2009 but no record if I did plugs. That was 16,600 Miles ago.
