The plug gap was fine...just looks strange because of the low electrode. They were Bosh Platinum. They do look like the last one in that group of pics with the additive splash. Since I dont use additives, it must be something in the Esso gas I use. I will put another 1k on the old girl and check the new plugs. If I still have the deposits, I will switch brands of fuel for a few thou and see what happens. nd yes the new plugs are the factory recommended type in my manual.
