oil on spark plugs, yelp!

[gemo]

Its a KA24E and I did do a search but everything was for the DOHC.I have oil in all of the spark plugs and the car is puffing black smoke.All I know so far is that this could be very bad.How do I fix this?I really hope all I need is a new gasket...

Hummm......you're looking at a big problem there. I can understand if it was just one spark plug with oil but all four? Head Gasket is gone or your valves are leaking. Probably more possibilities right now but I can't remember.

that's bad.

If it's black smoke it's prolly your valve seals.

A head gasket would make your car overheat and blow sweet smelling white smoke.

valve seals? Is that easy to fix on a ka24e?

You have to take the head apart. You need the fsm and the right tools ( spring compressor etc) if youre not mechanically inclined or have no experience with head-work then you should take it to a shop, but it cam get expensive , im not sure on the price but sometimes it better to just swap the motor if its being a big problem.
