As I understand it to truly read plugs you have to look at the base of the porcelain. You can try to cut the threading off, or get some light way down there. There is a ton of info on reading plugs, and I’m no expert.

Plugs look fine. Got around 25-30K on them?

Well they're the plugs that have been in there since the engine was rebuilt. They've got like 12k miles on em actually, but they've been been in a variety of conditions. At first they were in an overly rich with the E4ME, then it was in super overly lean condition when I removed the stock exhaust. It has been in a more favorable condition since about march or so.
