Hmmm, excellent thought. Given that I have no clue how long it was
disconnected I might want to change the oil just as a precaution.
>From Dick's response it seems that my engine is a little tired. About 10
years ago I replaced the bottom end bearings but other than that there's been
virtually nothing done to the engine over the years other than tune-ups.
Probably should start thinking about a rebuild sometime in the not to distant
future.

What happens to all that petrol that is not ignited in #6 cylinder? I would
venture to say that there is a large amount of gasoline in the oil if you ran
for a long time with the plug wire disconnected. I think the term is cylinder
wash. Any thoughts?
