I saw the other guys post and thought duhhh.
I have pictures of mine, ask these guys...
are these stock?
it looks as if the head has been messed with before "skufs and scratches"
And why do my plugs look like this?
Two plugs are white at the tip and two are dark

Not sure on the cams, carbon deposits indicate a rich mixture, or weak ignition. Ash deposits is caused from oil/fuel additives. Oil deposits is poor oil control..worn guides or piston rings. White is too hot or too lean. Preignition is a melted electrode.
 
so would it be weird if two are grey/white? and the other two are dark?
also the tops of the pistons in cylinders 2&3 looked like they have lost of deposits.
But the two outer pistons looked decently clean..
I would guess bad head gasket or worn rings, but the car seems to have plenty of power.
 
yeah It seems there are tons of things it can be..
Anybody know anything about the cams?
I think they are stock but first and second gear are useless to me I just spin the fudge out of the tires.
Seems like it should'nt be that quick being stock
 
Throw those plugs in the garbage and get some NGK's, anything with more than one surface for a spark is garbage.
What are those tips doing when the other tip fires? getting covered in exhaust gasses/oil/soot etc.
