I recently did the spark plugs (Paid my dads Mechanic $100 for the job) and when these came out I was suprised to find out that there is some white stuff on the insulator and electrode. Some are fully covered in white stuff and some are partially/half covered. I think they are like this because they were overheated.

The Original plugs that came from the factory were changed at 60K miles

They were changed with the Hot type plugs in Florida.

I then changed the plugs again at 128K miles and they came out like this.

You can see I put in OEM Plugs.

So tell me what you guys think:

They look like mine when I pulled them out.The tip looks rounded off and also pretty wet.Mine came out like yours but more in the very burnt dry way.Don't know if it makes sense.

The one or two focused pictures lighted adequately seem pretty normal. Should be a white deposit except for electrode and ground.

Try a real camaera next time. Cell phone cameras are toys.

Use the option for micro pics.Don't zoom in either it'll come out blurry. No need for an expensive camera just use a regular digital.
