hey guys,
to say the least, i'm depressed, hopefully there is some good news
I just spent the past 2 weeks putting a cage in my car, busting *** in this insane heat putting my nitrous together. I go to dyno tune tomorrow morning, so I figured I'd change the plugs
I pulled the plug on drivers side, front-most plug and there was oil around the outer most part of the threads (farthest away from the tip)
there was oil on about half of the threads, but it seemed like it was just sitting on the ridge before the threads??? Oil got on the tip of my socket
No leaks from the headers or valve gasket. Pulled the next plug back and there was oil in the same place, but not as much
What the hell could do this?
I just got done changing the oil, but the fill is on the other side
The car has pretty much been sitting since the end of last year for winter storage. Its been started a few times and has only been driven about 1 mile.
Could that oil be there from sitting so long?? but WHY is there oil on my plugs
ugh, this doesn't sound good to me
i hope theres good news out of this
