oil in spark plug cylinder

[nokaGT]

I went to tune up my 1996 GT 4.6 and I found oil in some of teh spak plug cylinders? What could taht be? How do I fix it? Any help would be great.

Thanx,

Possibly a head gasket.

proly not a head gasket, you'd have problems in more than one cylinder or at least coolant issues. Maybe some sloppy valves guides or old worn vlave seals that are letting oil down onto the valve head while sitting - then it's burnt off at start up. Do you see blue smoke at start up?

How many miles are on it? sound like possible valve guides, dose it use much oil or some when you first start it?

+1 had the same problem on a Toyota I had once upon a time. Car would hardly burn oil at all and would only smoke ever so slightly on startup.
