The red is caused by using octane boosters with manganese (MMT complex)
in them.

Subject: DML: Head work and red spark plugs?
| I'm doing a home porting job on my heads and I wanted some input on how much
| material is safe to take off the valve guides? The exhaust I smoothed out
| without losing too much material to support the valves, but on the intake it
| protrudes quite a bit into the bowl. I wanted to know how much can I cut this
| down before the valve isn't properly supported?
| Also, I took a look at my spark plugs and the electrode is red? I don't know
| what to make of it.....detonation, overheating? I couldn't find any info on
| it. Anyone know?
