Default Can Anyone Read These Plugs For Me? (Too cold a heat range?)

Hey guys, took some pics of my plugs last night. Here's #2 (left) and #1 (right)



Here's #4 & #3



Plugs 2 through 4 look the exact same, but #1 seems to lack the light gray ash the others seem to have. Does this indicate needing a higher heat range? (Right now I'm using 2 ranges colder than stock for my b18a). I'm running about 8-9 psi on my b18a right now with Zdyne and 450cc DSM injectors. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Ryan P.

Hmm, dangit. Just when I thought I got them working too. :-/ If anyone could suggest an address that would host them , or if somoene wouldn't mind hosting for me temporarily I'd greatly appreciate it.

copy and paste the links and they work...

were you running octane booster or something? I think i see a little glow on 3 of them that looks like octane booster...

They dont look bad... little bit lean, but not too bad, but i'm not the best at reading spark plugs...

Nope, no octane booster, just regular 91-octane Arizona gas. I've tried comparing to some of the sites online, but the pics they show always seem to be extreme cases (huge carbon buildup, or huge pieces that's missing/chipped...hehe, nothing I've ever really seen in a sparkplug).

Thanks for your insight so far,

Ryan P.
