I'd think if it were coolant it would be 1 or at most, 2 adjacent cylinders. If the head gasket was so bad that you were getting coolant into all 4, I'd think that you'd have other problems as well.

Maybe there's some sort of exhaust restriction on that side causing some backpressure and it to run super hot? IITC, you don't have cats though, so I'd think that's unlikely too....

Are you running shit gas or something ? Seem like a lot of residue on there. Also the gap seems a bit big.

Gap should be around 0.050". Was the gap so big because the center electrode was worn away, or was that was were it was set?

stock is supposed to be .052.-056, I think I set them at .054 when I stuck them in just like this time. Electrode was worn pretty good, these plugs do have a lot of miles on them, and no shit gas really, pretty much 93, its detonated on occassion during hard acceleration. Some of the electrodes were worn funky, kinda offset...

I'll use a different camera and get better shots
