so back to my original question ... an injector stuck open for 3 months could have caused this?? or was the valve guide leaking oil into the chamber??
i used to refill oil every few days .. it consumes around a litre a week if i race alot...
NO.....the oil leaks through the valve all the time. Especially after shut down, it leaks right down onto the hot spark plug and hot piston and dries there like glue and then builds up. Surprised it wasn't detonating in that cylinder.
