All 4 spark plugs soaked in oil...why?
Last week put a Comtech 1mm headgasket and arp headstud kit on my car..gettin ready for turbo. Finally got car runnin Fri night and it ran like shit, took forever to crank and when it finally did ran real rich..black and white smoke coming out the exhuast pipe. Took it around the block cuz all i was doin was heating the studs up so i can retorque them down when they cool....when car cranked it was idoling at 1100 cold...600 warm..usually when its cold it will idol at 2100...car would go past 2700.would bog down so hard and had no power when i got on it..so today i took everything apart to retorque studs and when i took plugs out to for timing...all four were covered in oil...soaked dripping..so i stopped cuz i was mad so..i have no idea what the problem is...Id appriciate any help if you know.....
Thank you

the rubber gromets beow the valve cover are bad hopefully if not you rings or valve seals are bad. take the valve cover off and check the ruber gromets first, then a compression test. just reread it, white smoke is oil being burned. so i doubt it's the gromet but better hope so.
