Are you losing compression in that cylinder?

Are you using spark plugs with washers?

Are you properly torquing them?

Are you torquing them correctly?

Are they supposed to use the gasket?

You buy the car used or plugs used, if you bought the plugs used that would be the most retarded thing i've heard in a while. The plugs should have a washer that cant be removed, at least all the plugs i've instaled were like that.
