Oil on spark plugs
My Prodrive was running weird, backfiring and bogging a lot and cutting off. I put brand new spark plugs in and it did the same thing. Pulled the spark plugs back out and one had a good amount of oil on it. I know this is not good but what does it mean. Bad rings.

Re: Oil on spark plugs
Possibly a head gasket?

Re: Oil on spark plugs
Are we sure it's oil? Sounds like a cylinder not firing and unburnt gas mix with carbon. Check you plug boots and make sure it's firing on both cylinders.

Re: Oil on spark plugs
Yeah I know jimmy lol I honestly was just guessing at the issue cause I had a head gasket blow once and I had oil everywhere, so I didn’t know if that would contribute anything lol my expertise is in other areas lol Will is silly lol
