These plugs have 3k miles of SCT Tune on them, total life on plugs is 11,457 Miles...

Now I'm no expert at spark plugs but that don't look healthy.

siriusdish · 12-02-2010, 08:20 PM

Does it look like the tune is ok???? There have been just replaced with the Silver Plugs from Summit. Wires are the new 10.4 mm from Summit as well.

I should add some of the tips are missing, can be seen in the pic's. Could this of been why my Dads car is so slow? The mileage is bad, told him to watch and it should come up now.

looks like you need a colder plug

siriusdish · 12-03-2010, 01:18 AM

Them where the stock plug that came in the motor. Could this of been from the broken tips? Gaps screwed up making it spark like crazy? I'm sure that the tune is fine b/c it's the Jannetty racing tune for SCT. So we are thinking the tips has caused this.We are Not mechanics for sure!!! Just what we think...

csjcsj · 12-03-2010, 05:39 AM

That's not good at all!

rtcat600man · 12-03-2010, 06:04 AM

Those are horrible. Good thing you replaced them.

JANNETTYRACING · 12-03-2010, 07:34 AM

I see quite a few clues here.

You Definitely have some OIL contamination, a Catch Can is Definitely in order.

Oil contamination causes detonation, detonation will break the tips off the plugs.

There is Way too Much Never Seize on those plugs to be the original plugs and that will contaminate the plugs also.

Never Seize can also cause detonation as it has METAL in it.

Use Very Little Never Sieze on the threads and apply it to the Middle of the threads staying away from the Firing End of the Plugs.

Also Looks like you have used Octane booster the Orange rust color is obviously from that, this Stains the Plugs permanently even after 1 use.

I am here to support the community if you suspect any problems with your car, you are welcome to send me logs and talk to me about your exact set up and I can help diagnose any issues you may be having.

Ted.
