Spark Plugs

[Chris.p21]

After taking the engine cover off the other day, I decided to clean all the old oil that had been spilled from previous owners when topping the oil up.

As I had the inlet off, I thought I may as well take a look at the spark plugs to see how they looked (replaced in the service in February with the correct NGK plugs)

When I got the first one out, I didn't think it looked too healthy. Any opinions on the pic? It looks to have been getting too hot to me but I'm no expert.

Thanks.

Just for info, these were mine - they're probably the originals (9yrs old), 40K:

i cant comment specifically but if you have a old haynes manual there was a section in the back which explains what the colour and condition of your plug means.

If sideways danny says they are fine then they will be - he is the expert
