That's what I thought as well because I have used injector cleaner and such but when researching online I found many instances where over heated plugs looked just like the ones I took out of my car.

I really don't understand why the manufacturer puts the recomended gap size so far apart on my car but I know that supercharged medals of my car and yes I have seen some crazy people supercharg the gm 3100 Gen 2 and they all said they use .045 gap.
