My 350 won't start. I took out the plugs and the passenger side ones are covered in oil. I assume this means something is blown....
What has usually failed to cause this?
Is it usually just a top end rebuild to fix it?
or......
bottom end as well?
Thanks.

Not necessarily either.
Was the oil there after a drive or from sitting a long time (seepage)? Another question would be is how much blue smoke did it emit (if any) when it last ran.
==another good question would be if YOU== ==even got a clue what you're spewing??==
If it only puffed on startup, and then went away..the valve seals are bad.
===not neccessarily there, ole 8-upwithit===
If you were fogging mosquitoes; blown head gasket, or bad rings.
==that's all??....yeah, you're clueless===
Is there water in the crankcase?
==long stretch there, from oil on a plug...== == ain't it there, ole 8-upwhithit ?? ==
Oil in the radiator?
==NO.....ON THE FREAK"N PLUGS ===
Do a compression test on ALL of the cylinders (both sides) do a comparison, and see if the pass side reads low. If so, it could be a few diffent things. If not low, probably valve seals.

Just my opinion and what I would check first before an overhaul...(but overhauls are fun too!!)
==you're opinion sucks monkey ass......====

Tim G, stick a plug wire in your mouth and have your wife crank the engine over. If you get knocked on your arse........put a new set of plugs in it and see how it runs.
If it don't knock yuh on yer arse.......do a repost and we'll talk yuh through the ignition diagnosis.
Get it running first....... then do a repost ON HOW IT'S RUNNING..... then we'll go back to the AutoZoned store and spend more of you're hard earned money.
