when washing your engine be sure not to let water get down the spark plug "holes" that's why your spark plug has rust... you probably knew that but for anyone else asking.....

though they are just slightly white it's hard to say if you are running lean. thats about how MOST plugs look when pulled from a stock engine.

They don't look bad at all (exception being the rusted one).

I'll probably just replace the o2 sensor for the hell of it since my car has 125k miles and the 02 sensor isn't too expensive.
