how do my spark plugs look?

[Darth Menace]

Just changed them out. I dont know how many miles were on the old ones. They were autolite XP's oddly enough. Anyways just wondering if they look normal or somewhat messed up in some way

They look good ... Actually a bit on the cleaner side except top right and bottom 2nd from the right.

Gapping looks intact for the most part

Did you do a leak down test while you were at it?

 

[Darth Menace]

Well, good it looks okay.

No I didn't go a leakdown test...- have no clue what that is

Good Test to figure out the health of your engine

You might consider getting your injectors cleaned and flow tested as well.

They look pretty good to me....were you having any noticeable issues or just routine changeout?

What's the gap measurement? looks too big to me.

Agreed that it is a good health check if you are having some symptoms; but, a major pain to do on the Viper if you are not someone that does it often. Finding TDC on 10 cylinders is a PITA and getting a wrench down to the crank bolt and turning it repeatedly and stopping in the right place ain't easy either.

(I did do mine and the good results did give me some peace of mind.)

It was just a change-out...nothing noticiable at all.

im not exactly sure what they were. I threw them out so i cant measure. keep in mind i dont know if you can see it from th pictures, but there is a teeny little spark thing....which might make the gap look bigger than normal



the new ons i gapped to .035

im making a list of things to do over the winter season. Cooler thermostat, engine/tranny mounts, maybe get the intake/heads done (i doubt it, because im not confident in my head removal skills)...I should add the injectors to the list. They seem nice and accessible for sure

Not used to seeing pointed tops..bottom row second from left is only one that looks normal to me.

if it aint broke,dont fix it- i put a 100k on a engine and never touch the plugs

I havent seen them either. Kinda stupid they put the autolite ones on. Anyways, glad all looks good
