Default Am I in trouble? Check out my plug


OK, this is my TR55 gapped at .055 after 1 day of using the car. The plug is solid white and had oil on the threads when i removed it? I just dynoed the car and its doing 13.1 a/f at WOT and my LTFT's read 0.0% at cruise. What is going on here??!!! Can i please have your input thanks

Are you sure it was really oil on the threads, or did you use anti-seize when you installed the plugs...?

Do you have ported heads? If so, sis you use some sealant on the rocker bolts that go into the intake ports? Could be a source for oil.
