Take a look at my spark plugs. What do you see?

Year old plugs. 5,000 miles. None were oily, broken, or in really bad condition. What do see and any improvement suggestions.

Plugs: NGK BPR5ES. No pressure test results yet.

#1 had small amount of oil on resistor ring but nowhere else. Carbon deposits. Light brown core.
#2 no carbon deposit. White core.
#3 seems to be the worst one. The other side of #3 core was whiter than the side shown. More carbon deposit than others. No breaks or too much wear on core or resistor.
#4 Rust on resistor. Small amount of carbon. Whitest core of all.

Car runs fine. Burns a maximum of one quart of oil between changes.

All plugs went in with a 0.027 gap and came out around 0.033

Plugs look good but I would do a compression test while you have them out to check on #3 issue. The whiteness of the plugs can be a sign of running lean but then again 5 k miles is not very long. I looked at mine after a couple of hundred miles of driving and were as white as when I put them in. I may try to fatten up the carb jets to see if there is any difference. Running lean can also lead it to running hotter in the chambers. Perhaps a colder plug number would help?? Any one elses thoughts.

Well something is less than perfect with #3, but I wouldn't get too concerend. Compression ck good idea. Other three plugs look like running too hot, if not for that #3, I would be tempted to put a cooler plug in.
THis carbed or FI??

I would think the valve seals on #3 could be leaking a bit
