Looks kinda norm to me. Some could have to do with the type of gas being run, but that looks to me like it is working exactly the way it should be.. Lets not forget that exhaust valves get a good bit hoter then intake valves, are made of diff material alot of times.. So the colors they change will be diff.. Clean them up and roll with it..

Yeah, something in your gas. If an engine ran so lean that it burnt carbon into white ash, your pistons would have holes in them.

I've seen exhaust valves on multiple manufacturer's stock heads, 4 cyl, 6 cyl, and 8 cyl, that look exactly like that and never even think twice about it
