Umm if you ask me it looks like you have motor trouble not spark plug trouble. 2 of the plugs look good, but you may want to make sure you don't have issues in the cylinders that the 2 plugs that have the tips eaten off of. How much timing are you running and do you have knock? Any fueling problems, like running too lean?

I did have a code of bank 1 too lean. When i pulled the plugs out of cyl 1 and 3 they wasnt tight. So i think that couldve been the reason. I have no knock or fuel issues

The one on top really looks bad. You may want to run a compression test while they are out.

do you have an lsj? cause those are not the correct plugs for an lsj. they are the wrong seat type (tapered vs crush washer) and the wrong length. lsj plugs are a standard 3/4" reach, those look like a 1" reach. they look like the plugs that would be in a 2.2l or 2.4l.
you have something else going on there as well. could you stand the plugs up and get pics of them, id like to have a look at the porcelin |

looks like this dude has an SS/SC. so there for sharkey you are right and those plugs would be wrong if in fact this is his SS/SC. this is where research and a torque wrench come into play as a prime example, esp if the plugs werent even tight let alone the wrong ones.

Those plugs aren't burnt due to manufacturing defect, they are toast because of the motor is my guess. Will be curious to see what the newly installed ones look like. Do you have a way to log the car using up tuners software?

^These are the correct factory plugs you want... You can also snag up NGK BKR7's at autozone for cheap and are also a plug that works on the LSJ. Never rely on a parts guy behind a desk.... Especially one at Autozone. |
This i why if i ever go to a parts store, i always write down the exact part number i need. Gotta dummy proof it.

NGKs work for LSJ too? I should see what those cost on Amazon.

Just go ask for a BKR7E plug, don't let them look it up by car.
If you have to though, an Evo, from like 2006 or whatever, calls for those NGK plugs stock. |
some parts guys ive found cant figure out what an ngk bkr7e plug is. if thats the case, give them the stock number, 4644
