burning up spark plugs
I have been burning up spark plugs in the left hand cylinder (when facing the engine from the front). I have burnt up two plugs in a month in that cylinder. I have low compression in that cylinder and my oil consumption is high as well (1QT every 300 miles). My question is, is the oil fouling plugs and the oil consumption connected or is there other things I should look into?

Re: burning up spark plugs
They are connected. I sounds like you have either a bad cylinder wall, or a bad oil ring.

Re: burning up spark plugs
Looks like I had 4 bad rings a enough carbon built up on my pistons and valves to cause six valves to burn up. I just had the piston rings replace and the head done. It cost me 1900 but it beats putting 5 quarts of oil in a week.
