Cylinder #1 Not Running - Got Spark/Fuel/Timing - Pull Plug Up And Its Perfect? Why?
Watch these 2 vids

Car is a d16a6 obd0 brand new engine with some internal work done to it
I thought it just sounded choppy at idle but when I drove it yesterday it sounded like a bike
Well just now I pulled the spark plugs one by one and 2-4 almost cause the engine to stall out and die, pulled the #1 plug and nothing happened
<FONT SIZE="20">BUT</FONT>
When I was slipping it back in I heard the engine noise grow, clicked it into place and it went back to stutterring
So I pulled it back out a bit, maybe 3/4" and the cylinder starts firing!!!
WTF
So I put in a set of known good magencore wires and it did the same thing, you cna pull it out a bit and the motor sounds mint, sounds perfect, plug it into place and the cylinder stops firing, for 2 sets of wires
WTF would cause this?
I'll post a video in a second

How the hell would a burnt valve only allow to ignite the cylinder when you pulled the spark plug up?
The valves are brand new
vid coming in 2 min

How about running a compression test to confirm? Also, if wierd stuff is happening with the plug, try changing the plug.
