There's normally one (or two) cylinders on an engine that run hotter than
the rest. This is, most of the time, due to either a flaw in the cooling
passages (casting flash not removed) or just the cooling system design. (SB
& BB Chevy engines have had this problem for a long time on the back
opposing cylinders. The reverse cooling system has fixed this problem.)

I'm sure that the newer Magnum designs have this problem down to a minimal
level, but you can sometimes tell by the plug color. (But not just on the
electrode tip...look down the inside walls and on the ceramic for a variance
in color as compared to the rest of the plugs.)
