My dad built this engine, and he build a lot of engines. As far as the amount of oil required to foul the plugs. Before I installed the PCV valve it had 2 vents, and was leaking oil out of the vent pretty badly. I put the PCV valve in and no more oil, leak. Maybe I am sucking too much oil out of the valve cover? It seams to me my best bet is to replace the plugs and put the leaky vent back on If it runs I will buy an oil catch for the PCV. As far as which plug the plug feels like it is going in all the way. It takes a lot of turns to get it tight, and I would be shocked if my dad who built 7 small and large block American engines, and 4 six cylinder outboard motors that I can remember would put the wrong plugs in.
