spark plugs

do any of you guys have trouble with your spark plugs staying fresh. i changed mine maybe a year ago, and then when i checked them last week they had a ton of corrosion on them and a couple were burnt up pretty bad. it was causing a lot of hesitation at high speeds. and that cleared it right up.

If they are corroding inside the engine, i would check your head gasket and the quality of the heads, maybe get .20 taken off of the head to make sure it is sealing correctly, otherwise i would richen it up a little might if they are burnt.

Mines always ran a little lean and it keeps the spark plugs nice and clean. Never have fouled one
