How many wires in the plug and does it connect up to your cas? If it is the one for the cas.....you've got problems.

just one, but its kinda burt from oil getting all over it. I'll get the pic later today, but has anyone had a RE where the apex seals didn't break but just wore down to the point where they didn't hold compression anymore? I've got 187k on the orignal engine and I think that might be part of the problem.

Looks like the wire for the oil level sensor.
