more info. GOT PICS...
There's an engine that has a slight amount of oil in the spark plug. What does that mean?
Engine has approx 25k miles(don't thinkthat matters) and the car was in a horrible wreck.
There were no mods on the engine. 2004 gt with manual trans(again, don't think that matters)
Alright, I got this engine simply because it's capable of more power than the 96 gt(with 160k miles-still runs strong and beats 03gt's w/full exhaust)
But, I was thinking of just putting in a clutch(it needs one) in the 96gt engine and have it like that while I build the the 04 gt engine HOWEVER!, I'm broke most of the time and don't have a job because of full time school. Idk what to do. I'm not trippin or anything but I wanna know what will benefit me more in a short amount of time. le'ts say 3 months. $ is the issue here
But can you guys still tell me about the situation with the pictures please. Kinda like 2 threads in one...

Well the valve cover on the drover/back side is broken. How can this be fixed? I can show you pictures if needed. Do I have to buy spark plugs & a valve cover in order for this to be fixed? I hope it's not major? How does this happen, internally? Serve your knowledge man! hahaha thanks!
