Plugcheck

I would guess this is why we should check things now and then. I wasn’t really feeling any issues, with the thumper cam it shakes and fumbles around anyway.
It had been a while sense I changed plugs and I only check the two easy to get to ones to see how the carb is doing.
So I thought I would put a set in and do a compression test to see if my puff of oil smoke was deeper trouble. And found this.
As you can see there is something different between these two plugs.
I only checked 6 cylinders as the two at the rear are very hard to get a plug in let alone the compression gauge hose.
All are good including the broken plug hole. The thing still has 245lb compression. Big number.
