it started with the car not wanted to start, it would crank fine but not start.
so i check the spark plugs,
Piston 1: plug dripping with oil
Piston 2: bit wet, black smell of fuel
Piston 3: dripping will oil
Piston 4: smell of fuel
the engine never smoked, and the rockercover breather is bone dry. i had cambelt done and drove car home, no smoke, drove fine, temps all good.
parked up for 1 week and tried to start it, but would not start. then i decided to check the plugs and found piston 1 and 3 drenched in oil, unbelivable amount!!
i put another plug in piston number 1, cranked engine (wont start), and new plug was covered in oil (electrode side)
what could have happened!! if it was rings it would have smoked right? if it was piston it would have again smoked or made some noise. 4EFTE dont just fail on cranking do they???
i am so confused.
