Original spark plugs replaced...is this a problem???

L33T MinGrey GT · May 31, 2004

I just replaced my original (36000) spark plugs (motorcraft platinum 32 something). When I took out the driver side sparks plugs all were "fine", did not have any color just if they were brand new. When I took out the passenger side all of them were white in the tip and some of them were more white than the others. Im not running N2O yet and I do have the timing @ 16 degrees. Is this bad and should I take it back to the dealer (I still have about 60 miles under warranty) . By the way about 2 years ago they worked on my passenger side head, and this is why Im worried, maybe they did a ****ty job when they put it back?

I got pictures on request if anyone interested.

Happy Memorial Day!!! .

too much timing definitely , put it back to stock timing and drive it for a month , if it still does it , make them pull that head again .

but too much timing would show on all, not just one side, wouldn't it

definitely sounds like something they did with the passenger side head.

I dont see any signs of oil leaks, nor burnt spark plugs just that white thingy on some of them. Should I worry about it or discard it? Im planning on puttin N2O (wet kit) and I was worried that my engine will not handle it from the way the s. p.'s look.

were the spark plugs the same part number right and left? i know the 4.6 motors used to come with different plugs in the left and right side head.

yes the s.p.'s were exactly the same motorcraft model numbers. I guess I'll take them to a machine shop for them to look at these. Is there anything I can do to take my car back to the dealer and tell them to check my engine (compression, leaks, etc...) for problems? I guess it wouldnt be a big deal for them being almost at the end of the warranty.

Take it to the dealer if you still have warranty on it~!
