I got it a little bit apart today, as always, great pans and unexpected occurances. Anyway, I pulled 2 plugs and used my new 'scope tool to look inside. Not positive the pic uploads will correspond to the description, but the black one is #6, the gray is #2. Pics are at once astoundingly good and lousy. For what I paid for the 'scope, it's a steal. Is it the ultimate tool, no, it is not.
#6
#2
Now there might be some damage on #2, it's not smooth as silk visually, but looks ok, but the black oily look on #6 does not make me happy or optimistic.
#2 spark plug, looked perfect, except to my eyes, high mileage. Supposedly plugs were changed with the previous owner about 40K ago. They do not look way high to me. But #2 was a nice gray, just like it's supposed to be.
#6 spark plug, didn't actually look bad, but not as good as #2. A little on the black side, but not oily. Gray in the middle. Pics I took of the plugs didn't come out.
I see a big problem in #6. I haven't gotten in as far as the PCV, which I still want to try, but I fea damage on at least #6 cylinder.
