Changed me spark plugs today, and the 2 each end were really oily, but the 2 in the middle were dry as a bone. Hmmmm. Any ideas? I haven't long ago changed my rocker cover gasket cuz it was leaking slightly, so it's probably just the same shit down there from before like. Or could be piston rings a bit worn I spoze. Doh. Ah well, it starts & runs fine so I ain't worrying
