Isn't Kyles car on LPG? I have never seen a car on LPG with plugs like that...

He has only just put the car on gas a few months ago so he is most likely still running the standard plugs and not gas ones therefore the gaps would be different and may be the cause of it running rich hence the valves being so black.
