Oil in Spark Plug Cylinder

Do a "leak down" test to determine if the leak is from the rings or the valves up the guides

I don't have that tool.

Local Auto Parts store has them, & most do tool loaner program. Just have to leave a refundable deposit.

When you did the head gasket did you check the cylinder head gasket surface for flatness? I have seen a few to be warped.

Also did you torque to 250 in/lbs using the three step torque procedure and followed the torquing sequence in the service manual?

ok, so I did some internet hopping yesterday, What is a home remedy way of checking for flatness? other than just setting on a flat surface and checking for wobble, I couldn't find anything except sanding the head down?
