first up, for messageboards you will want to use the "[IMG] [/ IMG]" tags with your link in the middle to post pics. like this:



I can't really tell from your pics, but i think that is pretty normal. Clearer well lit pics would help a lot

here is a link to help you diagnose spark plugs. google "common spark plug conditions" to find other versions of this info.

Do you have a haynes manual? there is usually a page with color photo's of spark plugs, what they should look like and what they look like when somethings wrong. Cinamin color is perfect heat.
