I understand the burnt one

But the other 2 make me worried

Were they installed that way ? How does the electrode get bent away from the plug after its installed ?

Detonation does crazy things to spark plugs - just think : an extremely high pressure blast wave encountering an electrode only designed to handle normal cylinder pressures...................

Carnage, my friends

Agree, detonation bends electrodes.

Had not had any detonation to my knowledge. We will see this weekend I have not fired it since the swap.

He asked because detonation breaks the insulator

Yeah had one w/ bad insulator I think we have it dialed in long story but things are good
