Are these sparkplugs GONE?
My first time getting the 7's plugs out, wasnt too bad for the Trailing (top?) rear one.
Had chunky stuff on it like grease mixed with dirt and oil like, I put water on it to see if it was just buildup but it still is all gross

So are they salvagable or not?
Also should I change the wires? and what type of plugs are best

Ok really if you are going to clena them at least take a multimeter and read the resistance on each plug and make sure they are even worth keeping same goes for the wires.

seriously, just buy new plugs.. it'd be like you pull your spark plug wire out right, and somehow the wire got cut in half, and instead of spening 20 bucks on all new wires, you decide to make your own..
Just buy new spark plugs, they arnt very exspensive, theres only 4, and if you already have them out just save yourself time on having to pull them in another few thousand miles cause your not sure if they are good or not.

This isnt asking how/if i should clean them its asking
ARE THEY GOOD OR NOT
I need to know these things for future refrence, they're HORRIBLE rounded, the electrode. The first rotor leading is as tiny as .09 leadd

i just bought my 90 gtu and i changed the plugs just today and the person before me put the plugs in wrong. they put the leading on top and trailing on bottom. and when i replaced them and put them in the right way it ran really shitty for about 2 minutes, then it smoothed out.

I sea foam'd my eclipse to day i used the brake booster line suck'd in 1/3 of bottle in 5 sec then i got the smoke and all that which cleard up and i took car for drive had bad mis fire on the #1 which i realized is the main cyl that pulls on the brake booster. i pulled the plug and it looked great hit it with wire brush still missed (swaped it to diff cyl) my point is the plug ( bosch plat.) lookedGreat but somthing got messed up with it so i no longer trust eyeballing a plug
