Sal needs to look at those. They look way too dark to me.

LOL...I think this is one of the very, very few things I would actually PAY to have done. It is not worth the headache and butchered hands.

hmmm

i'm no expert but those plugs look like the engine was getting coolant into he combustion chamber, or the engine at one time had overheated. Both conditions could be the cause of bearing failure in the lower end of the motor. Didn't you just post that your motor blew apart?

Cool

Those plugs look like *****. They look like your mixture was way too rich. I've never seen a pic of stock L plugs that looked that bad. Your truck was definitely having some issues. I'm surprised it wasn't running bad before it started knocking.
