Any good plug readers here?

Just pulled out a couple to do a compression test and this is what I found. They've been in there since November when the engine went in. I'm guessing 6,000 miles or less since the car really isn't driven much but do drive hard once in a while NGK plugs, guess they list them as aluminum vette head plugs. Thanks for any info!

That plug looks to be almost perfect. Has a nice tan color to the porcelin, slightly dark in some areas but nice overall.
Looks like it burns a little oil aswell, from judging the black around the perimeter. All in all I'd say its in very good tune.

About the oil, I'm not running a PCV valve at the moment might try something tonight to get it hooked up.

If you do hook up the PCV ( which you should definately do ) go up a size or two in jets on the Primary side or you will be too lean.

PCV should eliminate most of that oiling on the plug. Looks good though otherwise.
