Oily Spark plugs?

**batusai_jr** · January 24th, 2011 10:56 PM

I just wanna know if an oily spark plug means that i should have it overhauled? i just had it overhauled 4th quarter last year... or should it be considered "back job"? My car is Toyota Corolla 95 Big Body... 3 of the 4 spark plugs are covered with oil... only one is colored rusty brown... the mechanic told me that it was only dirty and no problem at all... i am kinda hesitant about that... oily sparkplug means a problem in piston ring or other parts...

nasan ba yung oil?? sa tip or sa thread?? kasi kung sa tip eh kumakain na ng langis yang engine mo.. which in time will need an overhaul.. top overhaul siguro ok na..

pards,

check mo muna, baka spark plug oil seal lang yan. Patayin mo muna makina, then tangalin mo yung hi-tension wire, kapain mo ngayon yung mga butas na pinagsasaksakan ng wire, dapat tuyo yan, wala kang langis na makakapa. Kung malangis, sigurado na spark plug oil seal yan, 250 yan 4 na piraso na.

Kaya mo ng gawin yan, tangalin mo lang yung cover, then sa likod ng cover, angat mo lang yung lock, matatangal na yan.

Bago mo ibalik linisin mo muna mga butas, make sure na walng maiiwan na basahan. hehehe palit spark plug ka na rin para sigurado ka at ma test mo maige.

sana eto lang sira.

good luck

what was done and replaced during the last overhaul? have you verified that the actual overhaul was done right?

is changing the sparkplug seals included when overhauling the engine? and also the timing belt?

imho, if its me i will have to clarify this with the mechanic whose doing the overhauling, including other major parts such as timing belt and water pump et al... to avoid things like this from happening....
