Is it bad? There was alot of oil on the plug when I pulled it out. #4 cylinder of the ztec.
Is the oil on the plug tip or on the threads? Is it on top of the threads?
I'd only on the threads, more so on the top or is from the valve cover gasket.
Yeah, that's bad. Probably fried or almost fried rings. Run a compression test to determine that. All pistons should read the same and usually above 120 psi. No idea what the specs are for the vtec.
I reinstalled the spark plugs and it definatly is getting spark. I left the spark plug wire off started the car on 3 cylinders and then put the wire on and it ran noticably smoother. So basically this car has less then 140k on it and the engine is going. My choice now it to trade it in before it becomes totally worthless or just run it till it croaks. I was going to put new plugs in it but these still look great after 60k miles Platinum ftw. No sense putting new ones in anyway. Fuel filter has 60k too should I change it maybe?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but leaving one plug disconnected also disconnects another spark plug.
