With this 2.3ltr I've had problems with MAD oil in my spark plug wells.The car smokes sometimes at crazy times.Has anyone ever had this problem and did it smoke and what was your cure? I tried to get a mad tite JDM valve cover but some asshat from Chrome2Go is attempting to screw me.I'll post up that story after i get this fixed

QUOTE (akamiami @ Apr 6 2006, 03:40 PM) interestingly enough, I've noticed that the evo 8 has a little tube that passes through the valve cover and allows excess oil that pools in the valve cover to drain out. rather than get into the valve cover and spark plug wells, it just messes up the back of the eninge and intake manifold. So there's actually a tube that drains the oil onto the intake manifold and back of the engine? I'm interested as to what you're describing here as I've got a pool of oil sitting in the curve of the intake manifold on mine. Thanks -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
