Interesting, I'll take it as the plug on the right is the bosch one, right?
Looks like the thread to it has been abit lose, at least all that soot shouldn't be there, and the cathode looks burned and melted... I suppose it's an isolated case, no? Never used bosch one's and I wont be changin' these things for the next few million miles in my Runner *grin*

On the Denso's I just put in the box congratulated me for purchasing the finest plugs made... I know that's a combo of marketing, arrogence but there is truth in the claim.
In my entire life I have had good and bad experiences with all brands of plugs except Denso and NGK, just good with those two. Good luck and FYI: I just put in the Iridium Denso into my '07 V6 and couldn't be happier.

Yeah I always used NGK in my dirt bikes and jetskis. NGKs are in the Runner now and I can't remember why I got the bosch plugs in the first place

I've done it too... I attribute it to a momentary lapse of reason; not unlike 2am at a bar

Now for the Happy news, those burnt off electrodes had to go somewhere......Hoefully they arent doing any damage. I had crappy luck with the Boschs on other Yotas and wont run them but on a Small block Chevy Carb they worked fine for me though. I will be doing the Denso plugs myself soon along with Factory OEM wires.

Sorry maybe shouldnt have pointed that out. I honestly hope that they slowly disentigrated and didn't harm anything.

The quality of EVERY Denso OEM component in the 4R blows EVERYTHING after market out of the water. Including plugs, oil filters, and the entire ignition system.

That's exactly what should be pointed out! It proves that inferior products have consequences if you choose to use them. Bosch makes some of the best power tools I've used, but they completely fail when it comes to spark plugs. Hopefully my 33% plug failure rate will show others why Denso and NGK are the only plugs that should be used
