So I went to do a compression test, just to be sure everything is okay. Look at my spark plugs. I know something isn't right but I can't remember what it means. Either I am not using a high enough octane, though I'm using 91, or my plugs are too hot or cold.

 

been using any fuel additives?

 

they look normal to me.

 

A) get rid of the split fires. I've never seen them happy long term on a honda. The multiple spark is great, but it can also lead to a weaker spark.
B) How'd the compression test go? Looks like you might be burning a little something extra...
C)Is that oil on the threads?

 

a) Those are NGK's. These are pulled from a 91 318is, these are the stock plugs.
b) Compression test went fine. 195 degrees temp, #1) 212, #2)220, #3)215, #4)225
3) The "stuff" on the threads is a copper based anti-seize.

 

Plugs look good, maybe a tad lean but look good to me.

 

your plug look normal they should be light gray or tan in color, normal burn

 

those plugs are not burning clean
