Fellas, will you buy an engine with spark plugs that look like these? These are the leading plugs from both rotors. The engine is in a half cut and when I top up the radiator with water, I saw nice green coolant coming up on the AST....followed slowly by faint traces of oil slowly rising up the AST. It's not serious like there's a whole globule of oil but there are definitely traces of the stuff. Can't turn over the engine of course. I don't think I saw any sign of grease in my radiator before the o-ring blew. Is this normal?

 

Sorry the pics didn't attach, I"ll try again.

 

Hope they come through

Here's the second photo. Both shots show the front and rear leading plugs lean on one side (the white half) and rather rich on the other (the black half). No rust although there seems to be a white crust on the "lean" half of the plug.

 

Sorry wasting bandwidth again, here's the second photo. This has so far been the most decent engine I can find already so tell me it's not shot!
