I bought the Champion 7989 plugs from Summit Racing about a year ago and am just now getting around to installing them. I've seen a post or two about quality control maybe being subpar, in particular off-center elctrodes as in this pic:



I couple of my plugs look like that.

My question is - what problems could this cause if any? Is it a minor thing or is it bad enough to not install these things? Do other plugs commonly look like this?

TIA

If you hold the ground electrode with a pair of pliars and just rotate the plug slightly, you should be able to straighten things up. Yes, I have seen this on other brands of plugs before. I jkust straightened them and re-set the gap and was done with it. No big deal. Shouldn't be like this, but it's an imperfect world.
