Re: Spark Plug Burn image

Isn't that just the normal white insulator color showing through the combustion deposits?

How old is the plug? Just one like that, or all the same?

I don't see anything alarming there. It doesn't look like coolant deposit, if that's what you were worried about.

Maybe looks like recent heavy fuel additive use the deposits from which have not fully burned away yet?

Here's a typical, healthy normal plug near the end of service life:



Aside from the lack of the dark band yours has around the firing tip, looks pretty much the same. That's why I say looks like you could have been burning something recently that left that dark deposit...
