Hello all,
Haven’t been around here in a while and lost access to my old email address so I had to create a new account. I currently am working on my MJ that has a built 4.0. Bore .060 stage, 1.5 cam (505), adjustable roller rockers, Edelbrock head, 99+ intake, 24lb injectors (I don’t remember the brand since I got them years ago) etc. Running 91 obd1 electronics and recoated iat sensor to stock air box. Having some issues with cooling. Before I throw the kitchen sink at the cooling system I’d like to get your input on these spark plugs. They have probably 5k miles in them and I just pulled them today. I’m getting a sneaking suspicion that I’m running a bit lean and that is the root of the problem but not sure yet. To start, can you give me your feedback on these plugs? I have them laid out from left to right starting cylinder 1-6. I flipped them over so you can see both sides of the ground strip. Uploaded in full resolution so you can zoom in. Thanks!

Re: Opinions on spark plugs (running lean or right on)
After 5000 miles it’s really hard to get an accurate plug reading.
To properly read plugs you need to put a new set in.
On race engines to get an accurate reading we put a fresh set of plugs in and look at it after 1 run.
With all of that said I suspect you have some lean cylinders.
Looks like you have pepper marks on the porcelain that would indicate detonation.
