I was trying to determine if it was a fuel issue by seeing if cylinders started firing when i sprayed it in (they didn’t)
But they looked wet, smelled a little oily, and a little like fuel and the tips were dark. looked a little like carbon to me but that could have been the sea foam loosening up deposits from the head and piston.
When i installed the berus they looked perfectly grey/tan and i’ll also attach photos if i can figure it out

So just spit balling here.
I would expect the plugs to be wet because of the Sea foam.
I would expect them to smell a little like fuel because the fuel/air mixture was not burning due to no compression.
Smelled a little oily hmmm and looked a little like carbon.!!!!
I would expect a little carbon if those Cylinders were getting a little oil in the fuel/air mixture when the engine was running.
carbon=burned oil.
Was your exhaust ever blueish or whitish or not looking right???
