Oil on #1 plug
 
What does this mean?

Is the head leaking?

Could it be from the porting, I for got to put RTV on the head bolts :(

Thanks
Andrew

Rings, would be my first guess.

I don't think its the rings, only have 24K miles with good oil pressure?

I just install the head 2 weeks ago, I'm thinking I should of put RTV on the head bolts.


Thanks:(

That was just a guess. If you have a gauge, you can always check the compression in that cylinder, just to make sure that isn't the problem. I would probably only do that if you've noticed that you're burning a little oil. If you're not, then that's probably not the problem.

This is just me but I would go ahead and put a new plug in there (it'll take 2 mins and a little driving, so why not) just to make sure that you do or still do have a problem.

I know what you ment and thanks for your imput!!!

I did change all the plugs and ran it for a few minutes pulled it out and it was clean.

I just have to drive around now and do WOT blast to see if it comes back.

Valve guides.....bad cylinder head? I am assuming it is oil on the electrode part, not the outside...as in a leaking valve cover....

Ok, after changing the spark plugs yesterday, I drove the car around and drove again this morning.

Right before I got to my house, did a WOT blast, pulled in the driveway and pulled out the #1 plug, it was clean :confused:
