im sure its not them, not blue smoke, its very dark sooty smoke, soot is settling on the floor around the manifold when i rev it. Its not a fuel mixture problem either.. i think. I also put new plugs in a few days ago, and the tips are already completely blackened and covered with carbon.

edit: I have no idea how to diagnose the problems either. I did a compression test on it today as well i got them all at about 95-105 psi. Any idea? im really hoping to find a cheap cvh that'll probably be cheaper than fixing the engine.
