Since the spark plug holes are all drilled and tapped in the head, and al;l at the same orientation/angle, how could they be different?

How could the angle be changed? Previous damage poorly repaired?

If you see a plug that is not perfectly in line with the other three, it is put in wrong and may be badly cross-threaded. May have a poor seal allowing for lower compression. Cross-threading is not impossible, since the steel plug can move the softer aluminum of the head.

If you suspect that is the case, leave the plugs in the head whe you take it to the shop. They can remove them and make repairs, perhaps a heli-coil will work.

Good Luck,

Bob
