oil covered spark plugs :(
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)
the cool kid gang
working from left to right
1st cyl
2nd cyl
3rd cyl
4th cyl
I heart high milage fords

do zetec's not have rubber O rings on the underside of the rocker cover round the spark plug holes to stop this ?. forgot to put mine in when i changed the rocker covers on mine, and i got a bit of oil on the plugs till i fitted the O rings.
