my mini was running good, ive tuned it, finished a historic rally and then parked it for 2 months. i tried to start it today and ive faced couple of problems that didnt appeared 2 months ago. it took couple of tries to start it after that long time
the engine is revving ok when car is not moving but when i drive it sounds like choking..wrong tuned or something. but that aint right since the car was good 2 months ago when i last moved it.
i removed my sparks and ive seen oil on 2 of them..the other 2 are just black. maybe a time for new sparks? most people say that oil in sparks means new gasket..valve steams or piston rings but as i said before i never had problems before not a single one..no strange oil consumption no blue smoke..engine was running like new.
my engine is 998 metro a+.

Are you sure it's oil, petrol on sooty plugs looks similar. If it's oil then inlet valve guides would be the most likely source, assuming you haven't overfilled the dashpot.
