What would cause this? WE took out meccanobles spark plugs but the center rear one was full of oil on top. I mean it was submerged. Not the bottom of the plug but top. MEcca took out the ratchet and it was totally soaked with oil.

 

not good


bad seals?aaaaa

 

It happened to my 93 probe Gt.

I know what you're thinking, that's a ford, but this is a max.

What I'm tryin to say is that my oil seal went bad, and thus oil on the plug. It shut my 5th cylider completely down when I found that out. I replaced the plug, and it did it again....

Check your seals bro, it might be what's causing it. Also, a loosened plug will do the same??

 

Leaking valve cover gasket can cause this as well.

 

If so, replacing the rear one is a PITA since the intake manifold has to be disassembled....but at least the MEVI write-up helps in this endeavor.....

 

what car did he buy?

 

 

Skeelo has a max, I was just saying I had a similar problem w/ a car I owned before the max.

Sorry for the confusions!

 

I dont have this problem, it was on meccanobles old car that was in the accident. We took out the almost new ngk spark plugs. He told me had a cylinder 3 misfire. Is taht cylinder 3? the rear center one?

 

dam skeelo, just let everyone know all my business mr. gossip

haha

yea WTF is up wit that, i dont' really care anymore since they took car to junkyard today, i just hope they don't try to sell engine to someone thinking its in 100% shape...

 

Wanna fight?
What I think of mecca

 

you catch me once, shame on me, catch me twice, ga dam u!

i'm not stupid! do u really think i'll click on that???!!!

i was this close!

 

 

some org member had his right rear sub merged in oil...even his coil pack was drenched in oil...it was a leaky head gasket....the cylinders are

1 2 3

4 5 6

 

yea i had a cylinder 3 misfire too and it was the 3rd one that was the worst, even the 2nd and i think first were soaked but 2nd and 3rd were the worst

 

What you have is a bad gasket at your spark plug tube....
When you take the valve cover off, you'll notice that the three spark plug access holes in the valve cover has seals where they meet the head. Replace it, and the oil leak will stop.

My #5 spark plug seal was bad, so I had to replace the seal. It never misfired or anything though...it just annoyed me that it was leaking so I fixed it. BTW, I think you can only get that seal at the dealer.

 

how do you get that thing to stop. I had to go to the task manager to shut all of that crap off.


nice though

 

i'm currently replacing my seals, and you can get them at NAPA, Advanced Auto Zone. you just have to buy the whole valve cover gasket ste for $45.
