Oily spark plugs

[pinty1990]

hey all,

thought id take a look at my spark plugs today to see if they need changing as i am doing a service and notcied that one of the park plugs are oily but only the thread and that the electrode was crusty and white, any ideas what could cause it? was thinking rocker cover gasket? someone also mentioned about valve stem oil seals and piston rings, but my cars running sweet as a nut, no smoke or anything,

cheers

could be the rocker cover gasket, i had that problem with mine although the plugs were filling up with oil completely within a week or so...

i had a chat to a mechanic i know and he confirmed it was this lol, cheers for the help mate,

glad its nothing worse i know i can do this myself for like a tenna lol

while im at it im gonna paint my rocker cover, any ideas on the colour?? my car is arden blue, so was gonna paint it blue but it obviously aint gonna be the same type of blue so dunno if it'll look good????

Why not think out of the box and go yellow? Will look ace

i was thinking yellow tbh mate, my callipers and drums are yellow atm, but need repainting like, really like the yellow and blue colour scheme tbh, only thing is i wanted to refurb my alloys, and have them done white, then the yellow and white wouldnt look very good together

so its either blue engine and callipers, and white alloys or...

yellow engine and callipers and silver alloys

but for the white alloys i was gonna spray a blue outline to match the car, thought it would look wicked,

i dunno

Up to you mate it's your car but I like the yellow/blue look

[pinty1990]

ive decided to stick with the yellow and blue now think those colours do look wicked together, il post a pick up once i tackle it this thursday

[pinty1990]

rocker cover gasket is done now so will have to wait and see the results lol also due to lack of colours avalable at local shops my engine is now blue so......



what everyone think?

also while im at i fitted a pipecross vent filter and blocked old air intake from that pipe, just wondering does anyone know if it will make much difference? if it will run A-ok like this too?



thanks
