It's the spark that counts. Ends look okay, but corrosion is caused by water sitting around the plug area, which would suggest your drainage holes could be clogged up.
I'd get an airline and blow air into the holes in the middle of the engine fins and see if it unblocks anything. Also blow any crud away from around the spark plug area on top.
