oil problem

Post by stevescrx »

so i pulled one of my spark plug wires out and it had oil all over it and there was a puddle of oil around the spark plug so i cleaned it out and changed the valvecover gasket and all of the o rings and it is still doing it anyone have any ideas it is just one cylinder and its the last one on the drivers side..

Check that plug and make sure it's not fouled with the oil. Make sure the top of the top of the tube is smooth where the seal sets. You said the "o-rings," do you mean tube seals?

Did you change the O-rings between the Cylinder head and Cam camps for the spark plug tubes?
