[suzukirallyready]

the suzuki been feeling a little dogish lately so I decided Id change my spark plugs upon doing so I pulled the fourth cylinder plug out to find it is drenched in oil pretty severly.. Will waranty help me out I havent quite hit fifty k yet but Im getting pretty close. What could it be? and the car still runs fine really just not as peppy when you steppy on the gas. any ideas?

I might be selling the car soon, just kinda looking for something I can work on with a bit more off the shelf items, say I need some performance plug wires cant get those for forenza's at orieley auto parts, so ya... anyone interested in it? Its got a cold air intake grounding kit, soon hopefully my down pipe will arrive. Full system with dvd player, neon under bodys, custom headlights (home made but still look good) 15 inch mottegi racing rims on brand spankin new bf goodrich traction T A tires. custom interior trim parts. all included. only asking $5,500.00

finding parts is half the fun and thats how you learn about your car. also the quality of off the shelf items is generaly poor, and copies of of other genuine parts that a manufacturer put 100s of hours into designing. you wont see the gains you will from quality parts. also buying second rate copied parts is killing the tuner industry taking the money away from the companys that deserv it. not sure i would trust suspention parts from "orieley's" over a set of kw's. just because parts are cheap or easy to get doesnt mean you should use them. good luck with the sale and your new car. dont forget to tell the person who you sell it to about the forum

Its been a long day. Drove to dayton (the nearest dealer to my house) they said they would have the car for five hours so me and a friend stayed there for five hours looking around town never called us to say it was done so I called them up they said they do not know why Im getting oil on my spark plugs and they have to keep my car for about a week and tear down the engine and once they tear it down only then can they tell me if it will be covered by my warranty.

lets hope it is, I miss my car and guess what the down pipe I have been waiting on for a month came today! but wait I dont have a car for a week! pray to the suzuki gods I get her back soon lmao

good luck with that.
you should call them up and ask them if they did the following, and if they do not do it BEFORE they tear into your engine you will not pay if it is not warranty. (the hq of suzuki will have a protocall to either approve or deny warranty claims, if the protocall is not followed it can be denied):
1-check the oil level- that could be a factor of the wet plug
2-light bore scope the cylinders- to see if there is scaring or damage on the cylinder walls
3-compression test of the cylinders- to see if its the rings are good or not
4-check oil psi with a dial/digital guage and compare it to what the ecm sees

These are basic test that i do for engines that come in to my work, they are not persay in suzuki's 'protocall' but will give you and the dealer an idea as to wiether it is a warranty/non-warranty fix.
Other people may have some other tests.
Good luck!

you probably just had a valve cover gasket that was bad. I would have started there before running it to the dealer. I've have a couple 1.6 motors come in that way
