*F/I Spark plug color*

Hey guys, I have had a feeling my cometics were leaking a tiny bit, but I wasnt for sure. I pulled the plugs today and they are ORANGE! Wierd, I have never seen plugs this color before, but they are....like an orange tint on the porcelain and electrode. I have not been running dexcool for atleast 500 miles, instead I am using water and redline water wetter...what could cause this color and have any of you seen this before?

Thanks,

Dusty

Re: *F/I Spark plug color*

I've seen a brownish-orange color before. But more brown than orange. As long as the plug doesn't look fouled, it probably doesn't matter what color the insulator is...
