Anyone experienced rust on their spark plugs when they've done the maintenance? Never took my truck 4 wheelin' or anything like that. I just use it as a daily driver.

Where was the rust? Inside the cylinder or outside the cylinder?

I wouldn't know, I just un-screwed the spark plugs to replace them and noticed rust on the threads of the old ones. I was wondering if this is a major problem. My truck has over 92,000 miles.

As long as there was no rust on the spark electrode there is nothing to worry about.

spread some anti-seize across the threads of the new plugs before you install them, that will stop the problem. Also, some anti-seize compounds have the color of copper (maybe confused with rust?) If the plug came out nice and easy, then it's probably not rust, but if they were tough to break loose, it could just be a little surface rust. Hope this post wasn't too late! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
