Oil On Spark Plugs

Recommended Posts

My hoody has a 1.6 pinto engine and i,ve just checked the spark plugs as the engine was only running on 3 cylinders , the plug nearset the timing belt was covered in oil when I removed it .. This dosen't look good I thought . the other plugs had heavy carbon deposits, engine running to rich.

 

What's your diagnosis of the oil on the spark plugs ?

i would say that was the dreaded valve stem seals,the 1 nearest the belt will always be the worst due to the engine being slighty nose forward in 2b so the oil collects at the front more..

 

Sounds expensive , I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to major mechanics ,what are the options ?
