New spark plugs installed...

My old ones were pretty dirty. Gapped the new ones to .44. If this is not the right number, don't tell me because I don't really feel like yanking out everything again. Had to go to Sears 4 times trying to get the right socket wrench, spark plug socket, extension, and a longer extension because the first one was too short. LONG STORY...

Anyway heres some pics. Anyone care to examine these plugs? Sorry if they are blurry, my camera is PMSing today.

Those are my old plugs in the picture. I had asked Ben on the forum (forgot his username) what the gap was and he said it was .44. So I gapped them to .44. If that's wrong, then oh well because I don't really feel like replacing/regapping the spark plugs again. I'm pretty sure that's right though. Long story...

my old plugs made those look good, which is the exact reason i switched to bosch with platnium plugs.(they seem to clean themselves so much better IMHO, but this isn't a plug debate though)
