you mean oil on the tip of the plug ?

Do a compression test, and post your results

its on the bottom BUT engine DOES NOT smoke white... engine runs good, engine doesnt burn oil.. Im like WTF dam if it is the engine its settled that i wont get a ze. I already drive my kf like CRAP every single day and its doing good. Ive heard alot of ze horror stories on how a non rebuilt ze always dies at any sign of really hard driving :/ Imma go see it today for my self to see whats up. I dont thnk its the piston rings, if it is oil in chamber im thiunking more of valve seals.

as JWMX3 said, do a compression test......it could be something as simple as valve cover gaskets

Yea buddy you need to cool down, if you are talking about oil on the threads of your plugs then it is most likely your valve cover gaskets, what do the tip of the spark plugs look like? ( the electrode part )

its dry from the top the only part wet is the thread

Valvecover gaskets, not to hard to fix (rear is a little harder)

okay ill change the valve cover but could someone please explain how in the world oil on the threaded part has anything to do with the valve cover........wouldnt the oil be on the top where it plugs into the valve cover...... how would it get to the threaded portion where the spark is gapped ??? - sorry man no offense to anyone i just need to be told things in d-tail to understand

well, when you take the plugs out, a small amount of oil thats seeped out via the valvecover gasket would get on the threads... very logical I think...

if the VC was leaking, he would have had oil on TOP of his plugs normally and a little on the side when he takes them out

True, but if he hasnt taken them out for some time they do make their way to the bottom of the threads.

a days work not even juts didi mine yesterday, and y athe rear is a b----. had the same problem wasn't getting a spark anywhere so i check all the plugs and found one with oil on it so i reseealed the cover, also i changed the distributor to see if my car would start, but my friend misplaced my key (for the second time) and i couldn't start it to test it.
