Looks like you are running a little rich, they should be a tan color.

recirculated bov may be the culprit there. I'd look into that.

How would a recirc valve be the culprit? If anything, that would keep the motor from running extra rich.

I have never run this motor since I just got it. So whatever was causing it to run rich will no longer be present, unless i manage to make the same mistake. thanks

As stated above, tan/milkish brown is what yuo're looking for.

Check base Fuel Pressure, check for vacuum leaks, and ensure timing is correct.

This is possibly one of the worst answers for any problem, on any forum, that I've ever read.
