It all depends on how white the spark plugs are. If there whiter then paper then thats bad. But white here and there isnt a problem.

If your paranoid post a pic of your spark plugs and well tell you whats up.

oops, lol, i didn't read the whole thing, white is fine with 500 miles. if your so worried about bieng lean do a fuel psi and volume test and look at 94 delsol specs.

There's going to be some white on it, normal signs of aging and deterioration. If they are snow white all over, something is wrong.

I believe extreme white = lean and extreme rich = black.
