question about oil being burned..

[FlipSupra8]

okay so i was reading around how oil gets in the spark plug wells because no.3 valve cover gasket is very cheap...so someone did a write up on replacing those gaskets to keep the oil out...my question is.. i had just replaced my spark plugs before i found that reading..so now my spark plugs are pretty muched fouled with oil...anyway when i first start up the car a alot of oil seems 2 be burning....can that be a cause? is my question..thanks for the input

It is impossible to be the cause unless oil is speaping down from the spark plugs into your combustion chamber. I have had oil there and I have never burned oil while having it int there.

You should be looking else where for oil being consumed, rings, valve stem seals, turbo, etc.

yea okie..im thinking either valve seals cuz i swapped turbos and there was still that oil...and my compression is pretty much strait off the block

If it's a little puff on start up, it's likely your valve stem seals.
