Hi all, Bassicly I have a 92 phase 1 valver and Ive been throwing a fair bit of money at it to get it up to scratch as the previous owner was a bit of a numpty,
Anyway I always take it to the same place becuase there is a great french mechanic there who I get on with quite well and he gets alot of good feedback here (Hull). So last time I took it to him for a full service and he noticed there was allot of oil in the spark plug tubes, you couldnt even see the tips of the plugs at first so he has cleaned all the oil out he could and on looking today ive noticed a bit more oil coming through... not to sure if thats just oil left from before or more but either way its annoying becuase he said he cant see where it is coming from.
They also have another valver just come in which has exacly the same oil problem... I took the plastic cover off over the rocker cover and tried to clean the oil out but it was pretty impossible, anyway I was wondering if anyone could help me with it and tell me any possibilitys it could be, I am going to take it back to the garage in a week or so but I cant see them coming up with something...
I also wondered if oil on the spark plugs would affect my performance at all? most people I have asked said no but my mate says it would quite alot in terms of pull.
Thanks all anyway and any advice appreciated
