If you dont like to read just skip down and look at the pics... lol

So basic rundown... full rebuild, forged pistons/rods. arp headstuds and hks 3mm MHG, all new gaskets everywhere, rebuilt turbo with less than 40miles on it.

just passed smog with some AWESOME numbers (except for the 15mph i pass with a 105 HC and max was 106!!!!) but i'll post the smog results if that will help with wtf is going on with my plugs.

wires ohm resistance is fine. coil packs have too much resistance according to my haynes manual. but they say .3-.5 and mine are .6 and .7 and .7... so if that makes a difference.

car pulls HARD when under boost, its not shy on power at all, and only at 7psi too. stock everything except for my awesome air filter.

Here are the pics though... this was after i let the car warm up, did a 2nd gear pull, 3rd, 4th... hit 60mph... slowed down, downshifted to 3rd and held steady at 30mph and i STILL had the same symptoms (where the car kinda jerks.... like a misfire...) and came home and was pissed. so i pulled the plugs and wires to see. my dads guess is the valve stem seals... what do you all say?

1, 4, 6 - look the best
2, 3, 5 - not what i like to see....

26 views and nobody has any input?

my thinking is either... valve stem seals... valve guides (which would mean bad stem seals also) and possibly bad rings...

who wants to take a guess?
