I know this may very well be a repeat thread but, I do promise that I did search(not just this site). I just want the advice of you guys because I trust your opinions above all.

So today, finishing up the installation of my new fuel system to go with the Intake Manifold that I bought from Brain, my plans were to get a start up tonight and do some basic tuning.

I decided to go ahead and change out my sparks plugs and upon pulling plugs 1 & 4 I noticed that they were covered in oil. Mostly on the threads and not the electrodes. Plugs 2 & 3 were a little bit rough looking(most likely due to my old supercharger engine management) but zero oil. The last time I had the car running was about 3 months ago and I noticed a little oil weeping out the valve cover and I had shitty hesition and spark. I did not drive the car but, just worked on the idle and making sure the basics were ok. I haven't cranked it since due to correcting mistakes I made in my turbo setup and just being scared of having a huge **** up.

I did 2 searches on here and a few on google. The closest thing i've found that might be a possible problem would be the valve cover gasket, which I really, really hope it is. Other sources point to a head gasket which I really don't see as being the problem but still possible.

Any help will be much appreciated and please ask questions if I left something out that might be helpful.

[EDIT] Pulled the valve cover. Actually looks really clean but, unsure if this makes any difference at all. Looks down at the pistons(1 & 4) and once again, pretty clean.

 

maybe you should stuff some baby chickens in there to seal up the problem....

 

Change your tamp sweet heart.

 

Time for a new valve cover gasket, perhaps?

Thanks Curly, looks like I took the picture myself. So I guess this is where I need to start.

I really hope this ends up being the problem becuase I am out of funds for a few months, damn college is costing my cracker *** a fortune

 

$30 at napa last time I was there. They even had one in stock.

 

Change the VCG, and you'd better hope that's the problem because anything else is a lot more expensive.

 

Thats exactly what I'm worried about but, I'm probably just being paranoid. I'll see if I can pick up a gasket tomorrow.

 

If the gasket doesn't work and you do decide to do this, there is a chicken mulcher in the media section. might be worth it

 

Lol, thats what he is refering to.

 

feeling bright today....

 

Actually, yes, its the first time in months since i've come out of my mom's basement.

Ok i won't thread jack anymore.

 

Don't crap on my thread you piece of ****!!!

lol, crap all you want. I fixed the problem.

 

UPDATE: It took over a week to get a valve cover gasket because of were I live........gay *******.

Goog news though, yeasterday I turned 21! Hooray! I'm still hung over as **** but will work on the car when I get back from Key West today.
