im driving to chicago and back tomarrow to drop my girlfriend off. i did a quick tune up on my can and it looks like my #3 Clyinder is done for. tell me what you think.



#1 normal



#3 bad?



#3 part 2



plug



plug part2



it looks as though the motor is blowing oil past the plug and down the block. The plug has alot of build up on it. i just want some feed back. what do you think?
