Default Piston hitting spark plug?

Can this be even happening?

94 stock LS engine without anything mod internally and it seems that the cylinder far right is hitting the spark plug. If I put my hand on the spark wire it will hit harder. (hear and feel of it)

I havne't take out the spark plug yet to check everything. My car is not throwing any codes either, and drives normal.

That's weird. Why haven't you taken the spark plug out to visually survey any damage? I imagine that if the piston was smacking it the plug would be damaged in some way or the piston might be damaged. With a thought like that, I would've definitely taken out the plug to make sure nothings contacting.

I know it sounded weird. My cousin wouldn't believe me too. But it seems like it's hitting it. Like I mention, if I put my hand on the wire cap, I can feel it hitting and it will sound weird while it's idle.

youve got the wrong plugs, and theyre possibly over-torqued. get the right plugs for your car, and dont put them in at more than 15-ish ft lbs.
