So I decided to change my spark plugs this morning after reading a thread regarding spark plugs and this is my concern... there's oil on the old spark plugs... what do you think causes this? Is it the Oil cam ring? if it is... is there a how to on how to fix those? is this a serious problem? would it affect the firing of the spark plugs
?

bump... anybody?

oil cam ring?

you just need to replace your valve cover gasket. super easy job.

The thing is I don't have any other oil leaks, just on the spark plugs. how easy is it to change the valve cover gasket? how much does this oil in the spark plugs affects the performance? thanks for your help guys...

he already answered your question, if you have or not other leaks that's another story, the leak you ask for ( oil on spark plugs ) will be fixed when you replace your cover gasket ( including the gaskets around teh sprak plugs holes )

ah i see... thanks for the help guys. Im new at this that's why I ask a lot... just trying to learn and not be annoying as hell. Thanks again.

Dont suggest changing the valve cover gasket yourself unless you know what your doing. Mucking it up could have dire consequences.

^ yeah but it is mad easy


if you need a hand bro, just ask.



Imo, change the spark plug tube seals. There are four of them, they sit right under the nuts that hold down the valve cover, they are like 2 bux a piece at the dealer and they could also be your problem. That was my source when I had the same problem.

thanks night, That is just what I need... more options and opinions. I don't want to work on my baby and not be sure on what I am doing and just make the problem worst. I want to do it right the first time when it comes to my car that's why I ask a lot of questions and do a lot of ressearches and reading.
Again, Thanks for all the help... if anybody has any other opinions, I really really appreciate it if you could share it with me.

i paid 85 bucks. what tha hec* I was tired after changing the clutch...
