All my plugs are running/firing fine. For some reason my #8 plug seems to be chipping the insulator off. I believe it called "Splashed deposits" here are some pics.

The reason splash deposites happen is usually caused by dirty carburetor bores or air intake. But if this is true then why only #8 wouldn't more then just one do this. This is the second time this has happend to the same cylinder. I noticed a loss in higher end power and having a left bank o2 reading lean (maybe one triggering the other). I'm going to run some seafoam maybe tommorrow and swap to hotter plugs (autolite 26). I replaced it with a good used plug from my last plug swap and noticed the power back up to par. Here is the link that I found a pic some what similar to what mine look like http://www.theultralightplace.com/sparkplugs.htm any thoughts or comments on what is really going on (or thing is happening) are welcomed.

. I pulled the spare plug I put in there and it already has an area whiter then the rest. Its the same spot the other two are chipped at.
