mariovr6 0 Posted January 22, 2006 hay just removed ht lead number 1 and there is oil on the upper side of the spark plug??(not the spark end but the ht end of the plug) how the hell did it get there?? Wouldnt that stop it conducting a spark? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sciroccotune 0 Posted January 22, 2006 unlikly on the upper part, in terms of stopping conduction. overspill from filling maybe, wd40 etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Gotta be spillage from filling I reckon, probably been there ages. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aclwalker 3 Posted January 23, 2006 I'd say a leaking rocker cover gasket too. Mine often has oil there. It's definately not spillage from filling. Hope it is the rocker cover gasket rather than getting blown by the spark plug threads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mariovr6 0 Posted January 24, 2006 think it could be the rocker cover... Also noticed the outer metal part of the ht lead had alot of burnt oil on it!!!!!!!! and on the white bit of the plug/plugs there is alot of brown like maybe it overheated? or is it normal for it to be brown just on the white bit where is says the plug code ? where the white joins onto the 10mm bolt bit?

GIXXERUK 0 Posted January 24, 2006 its normal for them to get dirty where they are not cover by the HT lead plug but it does sound like you need a new rocker cover gasket , which is no biggy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
