Oil in Spark Plug recess.

Recommended Posts

Oil seeping into one spark plug hole.Almost half full.Engine is a M42.

Could this be a leaking rocker cover gasket and what is involved of fixing this ?

Yes you'll need to replace the rocker cover gasket. Remove, clean and refit with new gasket set

How much do new gaskets go for? I probably should do this as well

IIRC it's $100+ for the M50, for valve cover and spark plug gaskets. Just give the dealer a call, quite an easy job, just need a torque wrench and gasket sealant.

For an M42 about $100. You will need the rocker cover gasket, spark plug tube seals and rocker cover bolt seals.

Rocker cover gasket set (includes spark plug tube seals) $ 42.50 + GST

Rocker cover bolt seals 15 @ $4.13 + GST

These prices are from BM Workshop in Grey Lynn Ph.3761250

I can supply them for less.... 10% discount to BS members
