Spark plugs color help + compression test

[turbo_911]

Hi,

I decided today to check my spark plugs and by looking at them, I am not sure if this is normal or more towards the hot side?

I measured and mostly gap was 0.048 on all of them and I put them back to stock measurements to 0.040 (0.039-0.043 factory setting)

My car is running normal, no problems, just was wondering if that's a normal color for spark plugs or not.

Also did a compression test

Cylinder 1: 179
Cylinder 2: 180
Cylinder 3: 179
Cylinder 4: 180

Factory spec is 178 so I guess mine is normal. Minimal is 135.

Now for the pictures.

Nice compression results

Ohh I see. I thought they were too white, as I compared to a picture in my haynes manual. Thank you

Now if that plug had ashy deposits on and around the insulator, that would be "too white" and a huge cause for concern.

Well, that's how they looked, and they were clean as no deposits or anything. I guess I am just too worried haha lol

Don't you love having a 4cyl? So simple to change out our plugs along with other components. Looks good man and great compression results!

I'm afraid to check my compression

Compression is fine and your spark plugs look good.

 

[turbo_911]

Yes, compression test was indeed fine.

Great compression and the spark plugs look like in great shape. How many miles are on the spark plugs?
