Thanks to Fred and Nolan for their replies. It WAS the outer electrode that was bent down and the consensus is that something hit it. Fred suggests that the piston made contact, but would that suddenly happen after thousands of miles and tens of millions of engines revolutions? The other thing (that I didnt previously mention) was that at the same time, I noticed that one of the non-stock bolts holding on my air cleaner housing had sheered. Does it seem possible that a small piece of the bolt worked its way in the combustion chamber, bounced around long enough to bend the spark plug electrode and then exited? (at least, I sure hope it exited).
