i pulled out 7 of 8 plugs (the 2nd on the passenger side is obscured because of the header) but 3 have this weird color to them , like a polished metal look to 3 of the electrodes, all others have slight tan to them but nothing too crazy. i'm starting to think the heads are warped as also they leak a little bit of oil (nothing drastic) from under the heads - this blows. if anyones got some heads for sale or knows any let me know!

Oil shouldnt leak from under the heads, there is no oil that goes through there (it oils through the pushrods). the only thing is the return holes, but they have no pressure. Looks like a warped head would cause water to get in the oil.

Doubt thats your problem. If its leaking oil, it is probably from where the intake meets the heads.

probably, i think its just normal crap i've seen it on other 302's and such. at any rate i ordered some new eddy rpm's and some fms rocker arms to replace these garbage gt40p's - maybe i can actually run faster than 14 flat now :|

another way to check for a blown head gasket or cracked head is to get a tool that screws into the spark plug hole to change valvesprings, you hook it up toair and it holds up the valve so you can service the valvetrain, just hook it up pressurize each cylinder one by one with the radiator cap off, if you have a bad head gasket or cracked head you can narrow it down to what cylinder and which head. it works great, youll know cause itll push bubbles if you got a leak.
