[8D] Just checking in. Owner of S-10 4 cylinder pick-up. 113,000 miles. Like it a lot. Other rides are 92 Caddy; 00 Chrysler Town & Country; 67 230SL; 57 300SL (yes, a gullwing); Kawasaki OHC400. Best regards to all.

 

hey welcome to the forum. sounds like you got some cool rides.

 

say, I am right now with dirty hands working on my daughter's Saturn, a 97 4-cylinder. It is missing so I got all the stuff to tune it up. When I pulled the first plug wire, the tube was 2 inches deep with oil. I am thinking it must be a cracked or broken ring; do you agree? What a way to start the day. Thanks for the reply; I noticed you have a Saturn so I thought I'd ask.

 

Gave it some more thought. I think the gasket on the tube must be leaking a bit of oil because any that got into the cylinder from a cracked ring would be burned up and pushed out the exhaust valves.[&:]

 

this sounds dumb but mine bunded oil real bad and i spilled alot of oil on the motor so mabye ? was it just the one or all the tubes

 

Actually just the first. I have gotten some responses from other bloggers that the cam cover is leaking. There are O rings on the tubes. I am going to see it again Thursday and replace the plugs and the cover if necessary.
