about 2000 miles ago I have had the heads replaced. refurbished heads with copper guides and teflon seals. Heads were flattened to make sure they seals nicely.
oil consumption went down from 1 quart every 600 miles to 1 quart every 1200 miles. so thats good improvement. And the coolant stays clean. car ran superweet for some weeks....dirty nr3 sparkplug stayed clean....so I was happy.
recently the engine started to run a little rough at idle and starting became a little harder.
any ideas? I have no clue where this oil is coming from and how external oil can clog the plug so much?
nr 1 cilinder
nr5 cilinder
the glossy black makes it a pain in the ass to see where it is leaking. The shop decided on that color...never again glossy black on my engine parts...
all other cilinders had a light-brown-yellowish-whititsh color and some had very little light white composite on the tips. so those are fine.
looked at the engine again yesterday and pulled the plugs after a night of letting it sit.

how can it leak oil at the gasket, when there isnt any oil near?
