Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on July 13, 2017, 09:19:16 AM: Are they Iridium plugs? If so, isn't that the way the center electrode is supposed to look?

I just use the classic NGK plugs and change them every 20,000 miles.

With a wasted spark ignition, I would expect half the miles before the plug is used up because of the spark occurring twice as often, and because half of those sparks are not under compression which is where more electrode erosion will occur.

Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on July 13, 2017, 10:08:46 AM: Is that how they looked coming out of the engine? I'm sorta thinking you might want to give a cooler plug a try.

Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on July 13, 2017, 12:18:56 PM: If you are breaking up at 85 hundert maybe you needs to disable the yeehaa limiter. I think it might be in the chip, but not 100% sure.
