i really didn't have a loss of power that i could notice, i had plenty. when i did a leakdown the numbers were similiar, 1 or 2 maybe a little lower of which one had the compression ring gaps line up, i was generous with my ring gaps btw. my plugs looked similiar to yours, the bases were black but the porcelein looked good. the only reason i tore my engine down was a gasket that came out and the bearings were shot because of too much clearance. unless it is bad i wouldn't worry about your situation. have you ever seen an engine that had the crankcase vented to atmosphere, they will blow smoke pretty good.
