Hey everyone,
I just bought one of my friends 97 hatchback with has a ls vtec motor in it, it has a ls bottom and a gsr top. The motor only has around 20-30,000 miles on it , but when I popped the hood the other day as it felt like I the car lost some power since the vtec was not kicking in, in noticed oil on the head next to the 4th cylinder. so I pulled out the spark plug wire and say some oil in the spark plug cylinder, I was wondering if anyone has any idea of what this could be? I have had some people tell me that it could be a bad spark plug and gasket to worn valve guides/seals or worn out piston rings. I will try and get some picks of the motor up this weekend if I can, let me know if you have any idea of what this could be. I am not sure what the internals of the engine are yet, I am going to try to get a list by this weekend as well. Thanks
