cant see the picture at work, but if the plug is bent/broken/etc. then it only happens when you chip a piston because something was bouncing around in the cylinder.

damn. its not broken or bent... its melted

mods? tune?
usually MELTED plugs come from running way low timing with really high cylinder temperatures. this comes from excessive knock retard or running too small of a pulley with low timing.

Are you running a fuel additive. I cant tell if its ash deposit or Melted

I agree with 01gpgt01. Have a look at the old chart:

How many miles do you have on those AL104's?
I'd say install fresh plugs all around, gapped properly and then scan.

i dont use fuel additives. and my mods are 3.4 pulley, sd headers, 180 tsat, intense tune, al 104's, and exhaust.
Oh and all the other plugs are fine its just cylinder 4. and they were changed early december

My buddy says that its coolant burnt onto it. So would that mean my LIM is leaking?
02-28-2011
How's your exhaust smell?
02-28-2011
like.. exhaust lol normal
02-28-2011
burning coolant = sweet exhaust.

idk.. could i possibly be a really slow coolant leak? or could it just be a melted plug..
03-01-2011
I posted a while back about burning coolant. Haven't bothered to change the gaskets yet, and the plugs look a heck of a lot better than that.

change out your **** plastic lim gaskets
