Default grey residue on glo plug

Ok, i know when breaking in a engine you are going to have grey residue mixed with the oil in your fuel on your glo plug. this particular engine is closing in on 2 gallons maybe 1.5. Well the engine is running awsome and temps are between 210 and 230. But i check my plug to get a better read on how my engine has been running. Well it is still slightly wet but has a grey residue to it. I am not worried, it runs great and has great compression. But like always i am curious and bored.

Normal? Or is it

Sounds like you burnt up the flux capacitor!



On a serious note, I'm not sure what gray residue you are talking about, but it is most likely just burnt fuel. Stop being so paranoid.

my guess it is still breaking in. I just put a re10 on my ninja and the 9 insert and it is absolutley balistic. this is also a vspec P/S

my name is marcus and i need help i feel like a mad scientist. I took an old vspec crank and took a dremmel to it yesterday and a old vspec rod and sleeve. Kind of scared to run it though;-)
