An engine that burns oil will usually foul the spark plugs. That, in turn will cause ignition misfire, higher emissions and likely damage the catalytic converter.
What is a fouled spark plug?
Fouling spark plugs can happen when the tip temperature is insufficient to burn off carbon, fuel, oil or other deposits and causes spark to leach to metal shell...no spark across plug gap will cause a misfire. Wet-fouled spark plugs must be changed as they won't fire. Dry-fouled spark plugs can sometimes be successfully cleaned by bringing the engine up to the operating temp.
Is it possible to have 8 spark plugs on a 4 cylinder engine I have never heard of this but I found an '86 Nissan 720 PU for sale but it says 4 cylinder 8 spark plugs.?
Yes this is possible. There is a second set of spark plugs that fire shortly after the primary spark plugs fire to burn any remaining fuel out of the cylinder. This is done to lower emissions. This is a very common setup on the 2.3L Ford Ranger engine as well.
Can you make a diesel engine which works on the basic principle of petrol engine or you can say it uses diesel as a fuel but works on the principle of petrol engine?

Why are there two spark plugs per cylinder on your 92 ford ranger?
This was a design Ford tried on the 4 cylinder engine. The 2 plugs per cylinder was supposed to give you a more complete burn of fuel thus increasing power and mileage. When replacing the plugs, install 8 on this engine.
What would cause the catalytic converter to turn red?
Generally this is going to be an indicator or a fuel problem, as the engine is sending too much raw fuel to the cat to burn. First things to check would be spark plugs or wires. Running with a cat burning red hot for long can cause the cat to fail, and in worse senarios even burn through the floorboard.
How many spark plug aircraft required?
It depends on the type of engine and number of cylinders (for piston aircraft) however normally it is 2 spark plugs per cylinder. Giving redundancy, better fuel burn. -flight instructor
