Default Wet rear plugs

Why would the plugs in cylinders 4 and 8 be a little wet while the others aren't?

Possibly a head gasket problem, do a compression test.

head gasket/ cracked head if 2 touching cylinders on the same bank are coolant fowled. if 3 or more on the same bank are wet its usually a warped head.

sounds like head gasket, check your oil for antifreeze, it would be over on the dipstick

how does this sound like a head gasket problem?

you guys dont even know what the substance on the plug is, #1

#2, those cylinders are exactly opposite of each other, in the rear of the block, so that would mean BOTH head gaskets, according to your theorys.

it could have oil on the plugs, may need a ring job or valve seats.
