I though I would check my spark plus to see if one of the cylinders was drinking oil. I planned on doing this because on start up the Land Rover produces a puff of smoke. I am not sure that it used to do this before the engine rebuild. I was worried that maybe oil was getting into a cylinder via the head gasket. If I were to have found that one of them was black and oily then the head would have been coming off again. As it was they all looked similar:




That’s 1, 2, then 3 and 4 are below in order left to right, top to bottom. the phone camera was busy trying to set the colour profile best for the picture.. honestly I couldn’t tell them apart. They were just a nice dry light brown colour.
I also discovered why I am getting fumigated inside of the LR, the manifold is all good, as is the flexi I fitted..

I’ve ordered a new mid pipe, so that’ll resolve this once and for all.. watch out for the install coming up!
