The car is fully forged , 2.3 stroker kit,has bc272 cams, 560 cc injectors,Wabco fuel pump, eagle crank, fpr. He said the car is fuelled aggressively because of the set up and when started if over revved to prevent stalling its very easy to flood the engine. What I saw on the plugs would have been fuel mixed with carbon deposits which could look like oil. Does that sound like it could be a possibility ?

Ive only taken out the car once and didn't drive it for very long because of the problems I had and didn't want to make things worse. I will do a compression test this weekend and report the results.

Sounds kinda fishy to me, =1 on doing the compression test

Ok so did the compression test and the figures
were
cylinder 1. 180
cylinder2. 170
cylinder 3. 175
cyoinder 4. 150

cylinder1 is the one that had the problem with the oil deposits.

As far as how the car drives , when the foul plug was cleaned the car flew and didn't miss a beat. Didn't drive it for very long though , only about 2 miles .

Any ideas? Is it likely the head of the block /pistons that's causing the problem ?

thanks guys
