@JAMMAN- yes sorry the threads and the actual socket part, and that's what I thought initially, but the ceramic also has the same color on it at the very bottom as well.

@Scrambler82- I'm not sure, my dad did it for me a few years ago when he was borrowing the truck. I don't believe he used a thread sealant or anti seize or dielectric grease, either. Also, good call on the pliers, I've seen those before but never knew that exactly they were for....I was gonna rip them out and get new plugs and wires lol 


Edit: anyone know of an engine cleaner that doesn't mess up aluminum? I forgot the block is aluminum...I need to clean the engine bay, one day I forgot where I put my funnel and while I was doing an oil change I eyeballed the oil fill hole and got oil everywhere and never cleaned it up...the sight of the engine bay kills me
