    Sounds like you did good, I let them sit for about 12 hours but 7 should do the job.

    The smoke is fine with one big puff.

    The plugs in a DI motor will always be sooted, this is due to the multi strike of the ignition system, I would suggest you replace the plugs and dont forget to index them and gap to 0.028.
