    The conventional Spark Plug is no longer the normal center electrode shrouded by the bent ground electrode type. New types are being made to suit different application and purpose.Here is a link which will show some of the main types of spark plugs :

      This means that your bore and piston are worn out and need replacement.

          The oil may go into combustion chamber from valve oil seals also. Check the compression pressure. If the difference in wet and dry is more than 20 psi, boring to first oversize is required. First oversize piston with rings will cost around 800/-.+ ghaskets+ labour

          However, if there is no difference, change of valve oil seals should solve problem. Valve oil seal will cost around 160/-+ labour + head ghasket if changed.
          There's lot to it other than saddle....
