Reading plugs

I agree with more time needed to read the plug, just haven't ever seen such a defined dark brown mark that doesn't rub off.
I have not been satisfied with the initial running behavior to conduct the break in "run-in" of the cam. I will re-lube the cam with some good stuff I have. I used Driven GP-1 gel. I have not really nailed down a procedure for the cam break in other than get it timed run it for 15-20 minutes running rpm's up and down slowly from 2 to 3k.
Engine is now on the stand so will begin pulling it apart tomorrow.
