The Exxon plug... yuk.

Yep your pulling those plugs out and one comes out looking like it's been
lying in an oil can somewhere. Hmmm has your budget recently stretched to a beautiful new air-cooled engine ? If you have put a new engine in your
Type 2 Camper don't panic. During the running in of the engine you may get deposits like this.

Not a new engine ? well your Bay Camper's got problems with that valve.
Somethings letting oil into the cylinder. It could be worn bores or pistons
or it could be your valves just giving up the ghost. You gotta be thinking about pulling that engine or getting a mate to pull it.
