I posted earlier in the week as I thought i blew a HG. After a quick compression test all cylinders are equal psi, my guage may not be accurate as it keeps blowing the hose from the fitting, but read equal psi nonetheless. When i pulled the brand new plugs, they all had equal amounts of oil on them and the electrodes. The problem I had was the oil in the intercooler, UP, and throttle body. I am pretty confident that the factory turbo is the problem allowing oil into the intake system. The passenger header going into the turbo was caked, you couldn't even see the o2 sensor. The car smoked a little after this happened and is running like garbage. HAs anyone seen a HG blow, and allow equal parts of oil into the cylinders like this?
 
Oil being sucked up by the Pcv system into throttle body and into intake also some into the intercooler not that uncommon

Do mean to tell me that Poly(vinyl chloride), commonly abbreviated PVC valve is the wrong type to use. :confused:

Maybe that's why I blew a H/G. I wish you would have informed me earlier of this. It could have saved me a lot of aggravation. :facepalm:

I love it when people call it a PVC instead of PCV. Either way they are both useless and I don't use either of them.(y)

So shoot me I made a typo error
 
What I was asking is would it cause the car to run that bad like it was on 3 cylinders. And could it soak the plugs after 1 minute of idling

I'm sure he was just sayin/playin. Same as was I doing.

No malice as far as I can see. :)

Not worth shooting anyone over.:D Just shows that people are actually paying attention to what is said/typed and pointing it out/having fun with it.

Nothing but love, I'm far from perfect and make mistakes.(y)

so all 3 spark plugs on the passenger side head are oil soaked after one minute of idling ?? I have not hear of a blown head gasket acting in the manner you are describing. There's only a couple of ways that much oil could get into the cylinders and I don't think it's threw the head gasket.
