Hi chaps - I'm chaging my plugs in the new VVT-i today - just got the cover off and found oil everywhere around the plugs and coils - I'm sure this is not normal! see pic.
I tightened up the covers a little and cleaned it all up in there - testament to the engineering of these engines that it seems to have been firing finewith all that crap in and around the plugs and coilpacks!
Feels better after the clean up and putting the BK6 plugs in... I the old ones were DENSO (Platinums I think) the ones with the twin tips
Could just be placebo effect but it seems to pull harder longer now
