John, I'm also a little curious about why the plugs have heat and carbon 
marks so far up the threads, were the plugs tightened correctly or 
loose? In regard to the colour, what fuel are you using, in that I have 
no experience in regards to the effect on plug colour when ethanol 
boosted or based fuels are used. Perhaps others on the list will know.
Cheers
