Oh - oh!

I was feeling really elated about the day's drive until I got home,

opened the hood and saw what may be a crack in the cylinder head. That put

the kibosh on the high times PDQ! In the depression surrounding the #4 spark

plug is a cylindrical bit the plug screws into. Between that bit and the

botom of the depression, a black oily messed bubbled and oozed very slowly

out. I have seen this before, but thought that I must have spilled something

in the depression. Very little material has actually leaked, it might take

several hours of running to build enough liquid to puddle.

How in the world could black oily goo come out of there? There is no oil

in the head is there? I do have a water soluable oil in the cooling system to

prevent rust, but this is white.

Well, we'll just have to see. I torqued the head again and will tighten

the plugs before the next run. Maybe the problem will go away. They do

sometimes. A poor pic is attached.
