got oil on number 1 plug so i am guessing i have bad rings, so anyone know of where i can get a engine haha i realy dont want to have to build another 2.2 but oh well any other ideas of what it is before i go about getting another engine to build?

valve cover gasket.....just a thought...could be leaking down

sounds like the spark plug was fouled. (fowled?)

where on the plug was there oil? down in the spark plug would be valve cover gasket, inside the cylinder on the actual tip of the spark plug could be a few things, 1- not actually oil just fouled plug from running rich 2- rings are letting little oil in 3- valve guides leaking oil down in the cylinders there are a few more possiblilities but they are the most likley

sorry havent been online to reply with a almost dead car and all plus i drive for work so have ot arange a loaner every day haha.

not from the valve cover coming from below replaced plug and oil was all over the plug including the threads in a mater of running the engine for 2 minutes.

ok oil in on the plug did a compression test and all were between 160and 165 so compression is good lower then it was when i last replaced the head gasket (210-225)
i am guessing at a bad valve seal at this point jsut trying to figure out a way i can re do them with out having to remove the head haha, heard of people using a air compressor and some attatchment in the spark plug hole, i cant find any thing on it so i might end up fabricating the attatchment and trying it. or jsut reversing a compresion tester and removing all the seals dont know yet.

Personally, it sounds like you just need a new head.
