oil in your sparkplug badnews
i was checkin connections in my car after a bad drifting experiance... i happen to pull my sparkplug wires to clean off my engine... an in one of them there was oil wat does this mean...help please...thank you
|
fried rings or bad valve stem seals.
it all depends on how much oil or a leaky valve cover. |
How could it be a problem with the engine itself? The oil was on the WIRES, right? Aside from the leaky valve cover, how could there possibly be oil on the outside of the engine unless there was some kind of massive failure? Somebody probably spilled oil in there.

it was on the spark plug itself too ..i had to loosen it..clean it ...then put it bak in i havn't checked it to see if oil got in again but i'll do that in the morning
|
bad spark plug cly gasket and or very very very bad rings...... take the valve cover off and see if the spark plug cly gasket has any cuts in it.. it happen to me before... i vacummed the oil out with a straw before i removed it so that all the oil would not go directly in the cly causing smoke for a few minutes or so.

so if it were the rings how much r we talkin bout here?
|
ts no quick fix.. the rings them selves are not expensive.. but you have to take the engine apart and remove the pistons..and if you crack a motor open in this game you may as well add new bearings, forged pistons etc... no point just to open it up to replace rings..
the piston ringlands of the KA are weak so if you want to boost thats another things you can knock out of the way. yourself doing work= Knowleadge and the cost of parts and tools someone else= hmmm a good amount of pocket change.. cant say exactly, no one has ever worked on my car so i am not good a giving prices for things. it varies from shop to shop.... whatever you do dont take it to walmart or pep boys and ask them to do it LOL |
too much drifting.
