i posted this on other forums thought i would do it here too.
I been having misfire problem for a while, so today i checked every spark plug. Number 8 spark plug found wet with oil and carbon build up. I had my heads rebuild not too long ago. The valve seals are brand new. My only guess now is piston oil ring worn out in that cylinder.
My question is if i do a compression test would it reveal and confirm my worn out piston ring? What other things can i do to maybe fix this problem with out rebuilding it, i wont be able to take the bottom end apart for a while. is there a quick fix untill i can get to it? Im already running 15w/40 diesel oil. i have about 300K miles on the bottom end.
