Hey all

Just changed my plugs for some NGK BKR6EK (hope they are ok!)

Car runs fine, and it did run fine before, but I get the feeling not quite as good as it could. How do my old plugs look? Any advise......over fueling/heating ect???

Thanks

They look fine but is that oil on 2 of the plugs?? Will be your rocker cover gasket leaking..

how can you all say its running fine?

Plug reading is only relevant to the last few firing events that occured, and i assume in this situation, those plugs came out of a car that idled last.

i had oily plugs at 1 and 4 because i didnt use a funnel when topping up the engine oil and the spillage runs down into the plug chambers. if you take all the plastic off on top of the engine you may see some still there. (just a thought btw).
