There's a substantial difference, but it's not a tire shredder yet.

I pulled the #4 plug this morning and it's starting to become fouled so I need to figure out what's causing that problem. I'm sure #2 is in the same state. I'm not getting any smoke on startup, the engine doesn't feel like it's missing and it doesn't use any oil as far as I can tell so I'm not really sure what's going on.

The PCV valve isn't clogged and doesn't seem excessively oily, but I might try replacing it just to rule it out. It seems fishy to me that only the 2/4 plugs are getting fouled and those two are shared with the PCV.

I'll pick up a leak down tester this weekend and see if it provides any clues. Compression was fine on those two cylinders so I suspect everything will be fine.
