Title: oil on spark plugs
Post by: dam088888 on 14 October 2011, 14:40

Hi all first off car runs great no faults. Changed plugs today to find three off them were telltale oily not the spark end just round the nut you undo. Not sure why they were all quite loose could this be why. The only one not oily was the last one on the right facing engine

Inner rocker cover gasket would be my guess mate

I had the same few weeks back and changed the rocker gaskets, think they about £20 ish

Saying that I didn't check to see if it fixed the problem!  But I presume so
