I just pulled my plugs and found some problems. Not long ago I accidentally put in 7 gallons of 87 octane. When I pulled my head out of my butt I stopped and filled the rest with 93. I then put in some octane booster. It didn't ride to well but I babied it until I went empty. Then today, my car got pretty hot. My temp gauge still read half way? I just installed a new radiator and was told I most likely have a bubble at my temp sender. Anyway, my plugs are pretty redish and the two on the top at the left are missing part of them as well as some porcelin. I am more concerned with the metal fragments causing me problems?

Looks like it is had water on one plug ,and the other two missing parts ..Well it ran lean or det. on thoise two cylinders.

Better have the A/f checked ..As far as the missing parts.The only way to tell where they went is to boroscope the cylinder..

I just had it dynoed a couple of weeks ago and it looked fine. I guess it is possible that the few runs made could have caused this. It did ping with the mixed fuel unless I babied it around. If I knew how to pull a syphon, I would have. After swapping out my plugs it runs great. I'll give it a few days and pull them again. Thanks
