what is wrong with my cylinder?
See spark plug images. 5 of the six plugs look like the 1st two images below
https://imgur.com/gallery/HWxojWN and https://imgur.com/gallery/HNsRAML questionable plug is in these three images: https://imgur.com/gallery/4cxiIIA and https://imgur.com/gallery/5hdPUH9 and after removal and replacement, then sat for 24 hours(was not driven): https://imgur.com/gallery/0wPFTvK See the electrode crud and oil on threads. It looks like even more oil after removal and replacement. One plug only. Is there issue with that cylendar? 2007 Engine 2gr fe with 190k miles |

Re: what is wrong with my cylinder?
Something does not look right with that cylinder.
If you haven't already, do a compression and/or leak down test on all the cylinders. If the results for that cylinder are different than the others (like low compression, etc) then there is a problem.

Re: what is wrong with my cylinder?
3 hours labor to get to rear plugs, then car cant be started until it's all put back together. Which is another 3 hours. If it's a valve or rings, it'll have to wait. It does run good and got good acceleration.

Re: what is wrong with my cylinder?
Do you only difference I can see is the plug in question is a bit wet.
If it runs and drives fine and I would agree with everyone else so nothing to worry about… But, at most paranoid: Are you losing any coolant? After inspecting your motor oil, does it look muddy? Does the exhaust smell like antifreeze? Any bubbles in the coolant reservoir? These would be signs of a possible bad head gasket.
