    Changed spark plugs, your analysis please

    I run a 5.0, V8. Boat runs great so I had little reason to change the plugs, right? I now understand that that statement is false. As a matter of fact, had I known then what I know now, I may own a different boat. Anyway, what's done is done. I change the plugs today and this is what I...
