Default just changed my spark plugs...

i just changed my spark plugs due to the fact that i have been surgin a lot over the past month or so. i put ngk laser platinums. the surging is still there but its a LOT better than before. here are a couple pics of the old plugs (oem bosch). can someone tell me if anything looks wrong?? yes, that is oil on the right most plug and yes that is rust where the ceramic and metal meet (obviously those are bad but what do they mean?)

btw, plugs go from front of the engine on the left to the back on the right

Default The electrodes look perfect.. The oil is normal, maybe it was just a little loose.. You sure it's ..

rust? Those things get REALLY hot, the heat transfers from the metal to the ceramic, and it burns a little.. Which is mostly normal.
