Hey there, so I just checked my check valve to see if the nipple was still hanging on (it was I think) and I noticed there is a lot of crap built up on the walls. The residue smells like fuel for some reason, but I'm guessing it's caked on oil? Just looked under my spark plugs as well and the same grossness was in the cylinders as well. It looked fine when I first got the car. I've had the car for the last 20k miles and do oil changes every 5k or under with only synthetic. I've also changed the plugs about 10k miles ago with the factory ACdelco plugs gapped at ~.30. Any ideas on what it could be?
Also the ring that I thought sits on the male side of the manifold came off. Even pushing down as hard as I can muster on the hose and clipping it, it comes right off with barely a tug.
