[QUOTE="69ST, post: 174529, member: 5"] FWIW, I share this concern. That said, consider that the first time I ran across plugs that looked like this was circa 1973, well before 21st century goat piss fuel...the engine was a 273 Chrysler V8, in a first-gen Barracuda. Fast forward to 2018, the original, factory-installed plug in my red bikes engine didn't look anything like this...after 23,000+ miles, when I checked it at the start of the season. Consider that kirrbby's truck engine had but one out of eight plugs that looked like this. That, IMHO, casts doubt as to what the exact cause of those deposits are. For the moment, I'm thinking that it's more to do with oil control than anything else. I hope I'm right or, at the very least, it's spotty fuel quality. Racing fuel is not only a witches brew of its own...it's also a damned short tether for a road bike. [/QUOTE]
