oil on plugs
I checked my spark plugs today and they all look ok...worn, but good. Except for the #5 and #6 cylinders which have some oil on the plugs
_ x x ...on the x's.

I'm gonna replace them friday, but I wanted to know if I had a problem with the engine that I should check out soon. The oil is only on the treaded part of the plug, not the head and tip and the tips are ashy white and clean. Thanks for the help.

make sure you know what's on it.
gas = leaky injector
oil = blown rings, blown head gasket, blown valve seals

will do...I dunno if i'll end up doing it or just get someone to check it out. Just trying to get everything fixed I can. Next thing is KS...either clean the connectors or just replace it. Track times suxd last night...best was 17.1 @ 79mph...so, I'd determined to find out what's wrong with it and fix it.

Re: oil on plugs
The firewall side cylinders are odd numbers, 1 3 5. You say only the threads have oil... is it possible that you just spilled some oil over the spark plugs? Also if the tips are white, I believe it means you are running lean on fuel.
