    Swapped in my rockers and ls6 springs today and got a bit worried after pulling my plugs out. All 6 have a reddish tint on the porcelain And some white specks on them. My first thought was burning coolant, but there is nothing in the oil and because I was paranoid I did a leak down test on all cylinders and all showed between 5-6% leakage which leads me to believe its not head gaskets. What do you guys think? Right now they are stock heat range, unknown miles on them ( had the car for about 15k miles) and the only mods up till today are SD headers, everything else is bone stock. Let me know what you think.



    04 CompG, 1.9 rr, 90# springs, modded SD headers, 42.5#.... intercooler/3.0 mps coming soon.

    Plugs are fine. Red is from ethonol content in the fuel.
