Plug stuff...
Before I get jumped for not reading, I have perused the section in the sticky post  Just a quick question for confirmation or to be corrected. Here are 2 pics of my plugs 20k miles on them. Thanks Sox

I would say that the discoloration on the ceramic is the gap that is not covered by the plug wire end.
