    There are a number of possibilities, cracked insulator on that plug, cracked or broken ring(s) in that hole, worn valve guides, and/or bad spark plug wire.

    My plug from cyl 8 was oiled something awful. It also smokes, I'm pretty sure my valve seals are gone. here is a picture of mine. Motor is a 267.
