Default RE: A new problem...with pics...

Hi, well i recently had this experience, oil was gushing out of the spark plug tubes. well mat, have you done a tune up lately? I think you need a tune up. I went to autozone, and they sold the PCV valve (like $3), gaskets (for $20), new spark plug wires ($20), spark plugs (like $5). After i replaced the spark plugs (which were rusty by the way) and everything, the oil oozing stopped completely!
So i would just recommend a whole tune up (and wipe that engine clean too) lol.

My 2nd post! =D

Oh and another thing, do you think you might have put more motor oil than recommended? It is recommended that 4.5 quarts are put in. this one time, my brother put in 6 quarts!!! Lol. and that was what started the whole oil gushing thing i think. Then i drained the excess and did the tune up and it's all good again.

I have the whole gasket set and a new pcv valve. I never had too much oil, really don't know what made this happen. While I have it apart Im going to paint the VC, and maybe the coil. I changed my plugs before the winter, since they're cheap I may just grab some new onesanyway.

Ohh I will, Im starting after I get back from the doctors. Thing that sucks is I don't get to use the garage now, but its not too cold out right now. I only have a can of gloss black krylon fusion paint, I don't know if it'll make that much of a difference.
