100K Plug Photos?
Anyone here have photos of plugs changed at ore near 100K miles? Doesn't matter if its the 2V or 3V type---just a view or two of the electrodes would be helpful.


TIA

I just removed and replaced my plugs @72K. I have a 06 (so a 3 valve). The gap was at .090 and the spec is .045 about double the norm. I did not have much carbon deposits but that electrode was worn to hell. I notice a little bit of difference now with the new plugs. 100k to change these plugs are pushing the envelope as far as I'm concerned. I installed Autolite HT15's this time around. Hope this is what you are searching for.
