zfr6 has a perfect timing strap. The other 3 show too much timing. In order to see the color change on the threads, you really need to clean the spark plug with break cleaner and a brush so you arent fooled by residue and deposits. If the porcelain has a shiny look it to (better known as glazed) th...

I'm trying to learn to read my spark plugs

Ok so today I went out and got 4 different spark plugs to try to determine what heat range I should use. These are the plugs I'm using: 1. ZFR5F-11 2. ZFR6f-11 3. R5671A-7 4. R5671A-8 I did the same thing on every plug. I went for about a 3 mile drive. Did a few WOT pulls during the drive and cut th...
