Just a quick one then guys.

My car has started to misfire something cronic today(all the way through the rev range). It's had new plugs and leads and dizzy, just before I went to Belize and has been fine since I got back. I did however have a lot of oil in the plug holes when I chanced them, so this could be causing it.

I've not taken a proper look yet as I'm still at work but If you've got any ideas as to what else could cause it to misfire so badly I'd be greatful.

Did that last time, if you remember.

It seemed to do the job but if its the same thing will I need to change the rocker gasket?? If so I guess I can use the same bolts for the rocker?
