Just changed my plugs on the zx6 - took a while but all done now 
Just wanted to check the old plugs look okayish think theyre originals at 16k miles.
They have what looks like thin black oil around the threads is that normal? And the first/left side plug had noticably less black/a darkened patch further down the plug on it, if that indicates anything

Better pic would be fab, can't see shit there. If there's oil on the thread it's probably a leaky valve cover gasket. You sure it's not remnants from dirty evaporated fuel? Definitely oil? |

Sorry mate didn't notice how crap the picture i took in the garage was, heres a much clearer one.
I noticed as well the left 1st spark has a lot less oil/fuel muck than the other 3 and also has a darkened patch on it further down is that an indicator for anything
Not sure if its oil on the threads or not to be honest it just looked a bit oil like, its not particularly sticky like oil so perhaps not
Cheers |
