  • Oil on spark plugs

    Pulled my spark plugs out of my r32 gts-t and they are soaked in oil. I'm wondering of anyone had changed just the spark well gaskets and if so what part number or where could I find them. I should probably do the valve cover gaskets at the same time. Is there a kit with just both set maybe? eBay has the whole engine kit for $300 ish, don't really want to pay that much right now for something I'll only use less then half of. Thanks

    As far as I know for rb20 there isn't a gasket around the plugs unlike Hondas and such. Just the two valve covers.

      i bought a full gasket kit as well and there was no spark plug gasket, if you're near the states and don't mind going over the boarder nissanparts.cc has the full engine gasket kit for around 180. alot cheaper than ebay, and it comes from nissan direct.
      is your engines compression good? I'm not a mechanic and have limited knowledge but maybe you're getting a shitton of oil blowby and thats whats drenching the plugs =\

        If it's leaking in the combustion chamber on the electrode it's either pcv, head gasket, valve seals or turbo seals

            Most likely fouling and not oil.

            If you've never had a tune or added some parts, get a tune... fixed.
