Would this work in an engine with an oil control problem?

Stuck piston ring, leaky valve stem seals or worn barrels/valve guides in other words it's burning a lot of oil and that's fouling the plugs especially that I mostly do short rides on it.

Just trying to hack it until I get another motor.

Ah.

I very much doubt those plugs will help a knackered motor.

You can always try a set but with the cost of them it's probably better either putting the money towards repair parts or a new engine.

That's right, I put 9's in, they're good except that I had to jet to 112/115 for some reason. The motor in not knckered, it just consumes oil.

So knackered then.

Worn bores = scrap motor.
Leaking valve stem seals = most likely financial write off

Don't get carried away, it can be just a stuck oil control ring, my compression is fine and I can change the valve seals myself plus 50 quid worth of parts. I can get 4 sets of rings for another 50.
