I pulled my spark plugs today for the first time since i bought the car, around 157k, now its at 167k.
1 and 4 were clean as a whistle however they were stock and the gap was rusty and way way off.  2 and 3 were oily, the gap was clean but the rest of the assembly was dripping in oil until about 3/4" from the top of the plug. What is the problem and is it fixable? also the brand of the old plugs were denso, has anyone ever heard of them? thanks! |

Correct. 3S and 7A valve cover gasket can leak onto the plugs. 5S can't. --------------------  |
