Update - It's Oil! Cylinder 1.

I removed both plugs on 2 & 4, and they were dry and normal. That seems odd to me because I was getting a misfire on cyl 4. DTC.

Anyways, i decided to move over to the passenger side and pull 1 and 3, but to do that I needed to remove the overpipe and header. I've been doing this from the bottom instead of the top, which i think is easier - less stuff to remove.

Anyways, i get the header down and i see this:



which pretty much ends the oil / coolant debate.

I took a look at the engine side and saw this:



and then looking a little further at the valve:



It's definitely wet oil. after doing that I ran out of time and didn't get 1 & 3 plugs out, but i will tonight and i'll do a compression test as well.

But, either way the engine is coming out soon, and i'll either get a new short block and replace mine, or if it's a head issue i'll just fix whatever is broken.
