after track day, i noticed that i had NO low end power. from 0-3000rpm i could floor it or keep it 1/4 throttle...and it would accelerate at the same sluggish pace.
so i figured it may have been my spark plug gapping...since they're champion plugs, they could have grown excessively large from all that hard driving...upon removing the plugs from cylinder #1 and #2, i noticed the plugs were -drenched- in oil. so hah! this is the culprit to the problem....
but what is it?
well, the only thing i can think of is that my piston rings in cyl 1 and 2 are excessively worn...so the oil is seeping through it at high rpms and drench the plugs. i'm using synthetic thin ass oil by the way...
kool eh? not really :o

Here we have leaky gaskets lalala
Here we have worn pistons dududu
Here we have bad compression
and then we black smoke coming out the tail pipe! boro boro boro
doubt it....how can o rings from the dizzy contribute to the oil that has soaked the threads of the plugs?
i checked again today after i wiped the plugs...good sign: there is no oil by the electrodes....only the threads. but i stick to my previous theory: rings are shot.
cos i told someone to drive my car....and i can now physically see blue smoke come out from the tail pipe....wasnt like that before.
