First of all, Hi everyone im new here

Secondly,

I was given a tired 1.8 escort si
Let me start by saying the car is thought to have done almost 300,000 miles!
I pulled the plugs to replace them.. when I pulled the ht lead from cyl 1 i noticed it was full of oil, as was cyl 2 & cyl 4 ... cyl 3 was dry

Im hoping this is all to do with the rocker cover gasket.. but as you will see the actual parts that go into the engine are a bit shocking too! also, all those deposits on the thread!!!! (perhaps the plugs look so bad cause the oil dripped down as i was removing them)

1st plug as i removed it (the worst)
