Default How do these plugs look...

They are TR6's and have about 6-800 miles on them or something like that with the latest tune. What do ya think? I'm certainly no plug analysis expert.

Yea, I mean, they look pretty good to me. I just wanted some input from others as well in case I'm missing something.

BTW, my stft's are a bit negative according to my interceptor gauge but my ltft's are zero.

i think they all look pretty good...but what is up with the bottom left one...looks like the electrode and the head of the plug are touching...or is that just the pic?

That's just an illusion in the picture as there was a dark spot in the cement ground perfectly situated under the gap between the electrode and head All of the gaps were fine.

I forgot to mention that the order of the plugs are (as laid out in the pic):
4 3
2 1
