So 2 of my 4 spark plug wires aren't going fully in. As in, they don't sit totally flushed with the head. Here's what I mean:

Any ideas why? Do I need to just take it all the way out and then put it back? Is there something wrong with my spark plugs/wires? Thanks for the input.

probably blowby..aka your valves are sticking open. Or your plugs arent tightened in fully. I had the same problem. Also check to see if you have any oil in your sparkplug tube, It could be the valve cover tube seals.

edit: whats the milage on the car?/how hard do you beat on it?

I don't beat on it hardly at all anymore, not since I got my new motor (which was about 6 months ago). How do I check to see if there's oil in my sparkplug tube?
