Title: Oil in Spark plugs
Post by michaelelise on Mar 2^nd, 2010, 3:35pm

Hi all i have just gone to change my spark plugs and there seems to be a lot of oil in the spark plug wells. It is to the top of the spark plug, which is about 90mmm :o

Any sugesstions on what I weed to do now it starts and runs still and goes well. I have my ideas but wondering what any of you think?

Regards

Michael

Looks like you need to replace the rocker cover gaskets :)

If the sparkplugs are loose you can get a buildup of oil in the plug holes.

Hi a900one,

No all the spark plugs were tight. I am going to do a gasket change this week.. Thanks again.
