Engine:JDM B16a 1st gen- Car: '93 dx4dr-
Was changing my spark plugs today, pulled out plug from #1 and there was oil in it, and on the plug threads, and oily deposits on my electrode (SOAB)! So I'm guessing its either a cracked cylinder, worn valve guides, or bad piston rings. Oh yeah other 3 cyl are showing normal wear. Any opinions???

See the thing is,....I just used seafoam last week, (vacum line/gas/crankcase etc... changed the oil the next day. So maybe seafoam is the cause??? I dont know it was my first time using the sh!%, it worked good tho, well besides the dumb *** neighbor calling the FIRE DEPARTMENT!!! and of course the two cops start ****** around, "Is that a legal set up, rev it for us, your muffler is "customized" is it dot approved 50 state legal,
I got annoyed got smart with 'em replied..."The liscense plate is ny, my inspection is ny,
my DRIVERS liscence is ny, hmmm, it must be legal in NY. got a ticket for disturbing the peace, and customized muffler- fu#$#@@$%%$@ Fart cans! had to vent

? ? ? Im new, stupid, and need of some help all pls?

 

you need to kick your neighbors ***. Did you make it clear to your neighbor after the cops left that you were pissed and he/she caused you to get a ticket?

 

i would say do a compression and leakdown test. usualy in the case of oil siting on top of the piston, its worn rings or theres a chance theres a crank in the head gasket. usualy if its a valve stem seal it wont allow oil to leak into the cylinder with the engine off. does it smoke when its running, or when you sit a light for a minute, and take off does it somke?

After i changed the plugs today was the 1st time she smoked at idle, not bad, just alittle clear white puffs smelled of gas.

 

maybe valve cover gromets are leaking oil???

 

if its white smoke thats coolant, oil is blue smoke. im leaning toward a head gasket or a burnt rings. but thats just me

 

replace the o-rings that seats under the valve cover. pull them off and see if the rubber is hard.
