Oil in only one manifold runner?

Why would cause oil to be in only one of my intake manifold runners?

The car had been running only on one or two rotors due to foulded plugs, would this be a contributing factor?

Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,

years ago I noticed the same phenomenon on my FD, which was running perfectly fine at the time.

In the recent past I had an ignition amp fail on me, leading to only my trailings firing for some miles (happened in the middle of a trip). I've surmised that was the case, not really sure.

Thanks, certainly sounds plausable.

Which igntion amp are you using? I am having bad break up starting at 5000rpm and am considering an amp to try and fix the issue.

The HKS Twinpower. It isn't cheap, but it freaking works, and works well. I ran jacobs amps for years but after three failures I gave up on them. havent looked back since

I had a twin power and it worked on my 2 rotor, but sold it when I went 20B. Trying to decide what system to go with for the 3 rotor.
