make another video,but don't move around so much.

focus on the frist rocker arm to the right(passenger side).

I belive I saw it stop moving.

You didnt by chance smell them did you?? To see if they smelt like oil, fuel, or antifreeze?

Was it wet at the electrode?

no i didnt smell then, well, i smelled the wet one and it just smelled like water, meaning didnt smell at all, and it was wet on the part that goes into the engine

I agree with kwkracing , seems pretty obvious , the plug being wet or not has nothing to do that knock...YOU'VE GOT AN OILING PROBLEM .

i never said the wet spark was causing it, someone had asked me what my sparks looked like so i told them what they looked like :)
