Spark Plugs
I know, its my crappy cell phone camera again, but I put these plugs in last year around this time. They are NGK Iridiums. The gaps on them are all very close to what I set them at last year. Car runs good and everything, I was just bored one day so I took a few out to see what the gaps were.
My question, is what would cause the tips to have a greenish color to them? Not super green, but light lime green ish. I am using dex-cool so it can't be coolant (unless orange coolant burns green). And the only other thing I could think of is the additives in the gas I use. Which is almost always top tier gas from Kwik-Trip. Can you see the greenish tint on the top of the plug?

Re: Spark Plugs
I see the green but your pic isn't too good.
Plugs are too hot. Drawback of using Iridium.

Re: Spark Plugs
Hey Bob,
They are too hot? Heaning I have excessive KR? So I should drop down one more step and stick with iridiums, or should I get copper cores? Thanks for the heads up!

Re: Spark Plugs
Sweet, I like the price of them too, plus I have no issues changing plugs every summer time. I will definatly get a set of copper cores. Should I go with 605's or 104's?
Thanks Bob!
