oil fouled plug usually means, worn rings, scored cylinder or leaking valve seals.
i recommend doing compression test

 

change the valve seals, THEN do a compression test

 

thanx peeps...ill check it out.....ne thing about my axles??

 

are you sure its your axles and not your valves ?

 

ummm.....i denno....can i be my valves??......im so new to dis...

 

there are these washer things (nice technical term there hey ) that seal the sparkies. they do stop sealing them properly after a while, then you start getting oil on the thread and tip of the plug.

the washers are cheap as chips... and it stopped the problem in my car.


and yes, when i posted the same question here a while ago everyone was telling me my rings were fuxxed, scored cylinder walls etc...

give the washer things a go before you start getting all paranoid
i paid $8 AU each... which is like $5US, and you only need four of em.

best of luck to ya!


*** not promising it will fix the problem mind you, but give it a try hey

 

where are these washer things??......never heard of it before....
