oil on spark plug :(
Friday, December 22, 2006 11:39 AM
alright guys i got around to puling the plugs out and noticed that there is oil on the #1 cylinder. now the symptoms are misfire, white smoke out the breather filter and just idle fuel pressure. Now i wasnt sure if it was a head gasket or maybe something more serious like a ringland......any ideas

sounds like a ring problem, do a compression test first, if you have smoke from the breather you're getting excessive crankcase pressure from the compression leaking past the rings

I've got oil on the threads of the spark plug....on 1,2 and 4. Compression test went good, tho, I have around 235 on all 4 cyl. I would do a compression test, see if any are low. Then go from there.

head gasket or rings are bad....

compression test & maybe a leak down test....

if it is ON the spark plug, you need a valve cover gasket. White smoke means coolant, a blown headgasket could cause your valvecover gasket to go early. Oil on the plug can also cause your spark to discharge into the wall, meaning for a miss in that cylinder.
