engine-is it ruined? - 2/14/2008 12:46:58 PM    1965impala   Posts: 2 Joined: 2/14/2008 Status: offline I was oiling the cylinders in my chevy and I am afraid that I may have been a bit sloppy in replacing the spark plugs.  If something got into the cylinders is the engine ruined or is there a way to fix it? yes, i realise im retarded and should have been more careful :P thx < Message edited by 1965impala -- 2/14/2008 12:47:22 PM > Post #: 1
