Arse load of oil in my spark plug gallery - 7M

[Huz]

When I changed my plugs there was a green milkshake of oil and coolant in there. I just let it drain into the cylinders, blows a shitload of smoke but I dont care

lol my cat filled up with oil when i did it and blew smoke for like 2 days lol

Yeah did the drain into cyl method for the back 3 cyl, got a mad James Bond-esque smoke screen happening LOL. I'll do the other 3 cyl when I CBF and put new plugs in.

I tightened the rocker covers (all the screws were bulk loose) and it seems to smell less of burnt oil now after a drive so I'm happy about that Hopfully some new gaskets, new plugs and proper rocker cover bolts and she'll be apples.

Of course it scares me that you know how much of a load of oil your ass will take.

I pumped mine out with the pump you get in hand cleaner or shampoo bottle. Unscrew it from the bottle, stick the tube into the gallery, pump and catch it in a container.

this had me in histerics, well done

It's worth pointing out that piston rings arent airtight. If you pull the plugs and let the car sit overnight, most of the oil will drain back in to the sump. The rest will burn off when you run the car.

Well I gots me 2 bucks worth of syringe and hose so I'll do it properly now and actually take the oil of out the galleries instead of letting it drain into the combustion chamber

LOL.........

The soap bottle idea was awsome.

I have always rolled Dunny paper or paper towels and put them down around the plug

I might have to try that one the next time my 4AG valley fills with water.

lol, some interesting advice here. As was said go buy some decent 6mm bolts ie. something you can actually tighten, the stock bling screws are pure shite.Get some spring washers, a pair of cam cover gaskets and maybe even some loctite. Then tighten them up more than the 2.5nm it says in the service manual.. Use a 1/4" ratchet so you're not as likely to strip the threads.

And some sort of gasket solution as well. That "aviation perma gasket" has always worked well in those sort of locations for me and isn't too hard to remove later since it's not adhesive and dissolves in solvent.
