I didn't oil and test cylinders 2, 3, and 4 because they are very close, the compression is adequate, and on a prior occasion had checked them, with a similiar result. By "wet", I mean the spark plug is, well, wet. for all I know the rest of the cylinder/pistion is too, but hard to see in there. Difficult to tell with what, since the engine doesn't smoke noticeably, or steam, and cylinder doesn't misfire, at least not regularly. Could be gas, if the engine is firing irregularly, possibly due to low comperssion resulting from a valve problem. The head torgue was probably about 45 lbs, hard to be certain; not that it matters, as the cure would appear to be the same regardless, pulling the head, checking the surface for warp, and the valve in question for damage, regarding stem clearance. It would seem the problem is with #1, and valve more than rings, as the oil didn't increase compression noticeably. Thanks for the input, always interesting to hear what others have to say.
