need help with spark plug analysis

Post by jellyfish » Fri Oct 23, 2009 1:56 pm

hi guys, i`ve just came back from my servicing, 20k oil change, on redline 10w-30 engine oil, and i decided to replace the sparkies to those iridium ones, that last longer(100k i heard) but i intend to change it out at 60k. oh ya my engine is stock F20C block .

here is the pics, am i running rich or lean, it seems like having some corrosion prob and carbon build up issues. hmm :?

how to prevent the build up of carbon? and is there anyway to tune the fueling?

the 4 sparkies, notice the rusty area

these plugs have aged and worn off.... but certainly u're not running lean neither rich... the built up carbon is the result of poor sparks produced...
