    You really cant read em.maybe we could zinc chromate them ourselves,we can anodize with a bucket and sulfuric acid. i think zinc is the same way. (electrolysis)

    Put nitro in the tank and you won't need to read them. The electrode strap will be burnt off and there won't be anything left to read! Just put 16 new ones in and call it good.

    mark,

    we started getting the silver plugs last year on jason's car. it still burns the cad off the same, just harder to see. you can still look on the inside of the plug to see how much cad is gone and see how many threads it burns down. just with the color, you dont have the contrast you used to.

    thanks Will.we we ran them with the psi,we could smoke a hole and the plug was like new. in our veney deal with the roots if we color 3/4 of the cad or zinc plugs just on the flat it needs a slug. the roots may color the nickel ones because the motor runs hot and dirty?
