does this apply to oil on the spark plug tip? the other day my ghetto rigged ic piping popped off. car ran super rich for about 20 feet until i could get to a gas station. after that, car was hesitating under load, thought it was knock so retarded the timing alot...no help. by proccess of elimination, must be a fouled plug right? went and dropped $70 on denso iridium plags and but them in. when i took the old shitty autolites out, plug #6's tip was covered in oil. it was kinda hard to tell where on the plug the oil was since my buddy kinda smeared it with his fingers. first time under load after denso install...same hesitiation. now, i dont have the spark plug socket with me right now but im pretty sure when i pop #6 off tomorrow, it will have oil on it. does this sticky apply???? thanks.

Does your car after sitting over night smoke a bit when you crank it up? The sticky is about the little metal plate over the top of the spark plug valley leaking and how to fix it. If the part of the plug that goes into the cylinder is covered in oil means you are burning oil because of blowby or bad valve seals. If the oil is on the other end of the plug where the wire goes on then you need to heed the sticky and fix it because it sucks getting all of that oil out.
