I had that problem on a Ford Mustang engine on fouling the plugs. Put in new plugs and they were soon fouled. I borrowed a borescope light from work and looked into each sparkplug hole and 3 out of 6 cylinders were wet with oil in the combustion area. Heavy deposits of carbon were noticed too. I had bought this car used and it must have been driven on short runs.

I pulled the head and I had never seen so much carbon in a cylinder head. Pulled the pistons too
and all the rings and ring lans were packed with carbon. All the drain holes in the pistons were
plugged with carbon too. After doing a valve job and cleaning the pistons I installed new rings
and rod bearings and that fixed the problem. Hal
