Help Please

i have been running my small block chevy in my truck for about 4 months and love it. but the other day i was in second gear and then laid into the gas until i was at about 4500 rpms then when i let off and then started giving it gas again it had miss like i had foiled a plug. so i checked the plugs and the #4 plug was gunked up so i changed it but the cylinder still is not firing it is getting spark and the plug gets wet with fuel could it be the exhaust valve is stuck.

Pull the valvecover & have a look. Could be someting obvious like a broken rocker stud or bent pushrod.

Re: Help Please

i was going to pull off the valve covers today to look if it is a rocker arm or push rod would it make the plug get covered with fuel ( if it is and exhaust rocker or push rod )
