Default Lean or Rich

Well I have a D16Y7 I have installed 20 over ZC pisons, I ran my engine about 2000 miles and then pulled my head off. The pistons and exhust valves are yellow....... I know this is not a good thing. How would I go about fixing this problem.

well yellow on spark plugs means high speed glazing. try using a colder spark plug. i'm not sure though if that would also cause the pistons to have yellow deposits
