Default Help reading spark plugs

I changed my oil and plugs yesturday on my new beater and I noticed the plugs looked fouled. Actually the plug nearset the timing belt looks good but as you make your way to the dizzy they get worse(fouled). It looks like carbon deposits with a bit of oil on the base of the threads in plug one(NEAREST DIZZY). The engine is a bone stock y7. Waht do you think?

Do a compression test on the #3 and #4 cylinders. You have your numbers messed up on the plugs, by the way.

What gap are you using? Just looks a little wide. Anyone else think so?

Good question. They came with the car so I'm not sure, I'll have to check with my gapping tool.

Compresssion results in! 180 across the board. What could cause my issue of being more rich on plug 1 then 2.3.4? Bad injector, rotor, plugs???

Thanks.
