sebo123 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 so im looking at a 1.4s 1999. the seller reckons the rocker cover seal(sealent) needs replacing because oil is getting into the port and its only turning over on 3 plugs, now i thought the rocker cover seal keeps the oil in the engine and if it did get into the port it would only get as fair as the spark plug hole and no further...if the spark plug was submerged in oil would it stop it from working properly? or is this guy talking out his arse and trying to bull**** me...

blister Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 my rocker cover gasket went on my mx5 and as the gasket was hirer then the plugs it actually did lead to the engine misfiring due to moisuture in one of the plugs ht leadtake a rag with you clean the ht lead and the top of the spark plug and spray a little bit of WD40 in the ht lead and see if it cures the problem if not walk away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
