ok guys.. dont yell at me.. but for about a year now i have had a nice amount of oil in my spark plug holes.. first it was just number 1..but now its all over them.. is that going to mess up anything or hinder performance or spark??

the guys that first told me bout it.. wanted 115 to do it.. glad i didnt pay them

since the kit is 13 bucks.. and my labor is freee and much more fun..

ahah

but i just was wondering??? maybe my car would be faster if i fixed it.. ahah prob not.. still be slow..

Nah. it's just four little rubber o-rings that go bad over time. It'll take you maybe 4-5 hours to do your first time. $115 is totally outrageous.

holy shit, that takes 4 -5 hours i didnt put mine in yet but i dont want to spend that much time on it

Shit 4-5 hours is nothing. Its all fun. You learn a lot.

Go put a turbo kit on :)

4-5 hours AT MOST! It only took me 1 - 2 hours for the VC gasket. Of course, after the cam install, I could get from running condition to vc off in 5 minutes!

Are you all on crack or something? 4-5 hrs to change a valve cover gasket set? on our cars? I just unbolted the coil packs, pulled the plug wires off, pulled the water temp wires off, unbolted the bolts on the valve cover with a deep socket, pulled the valve cover off, pulled off the old gasket, put on the new, torqued the valve cover to the specifications in the fsm, screwed the coil pack back on, and finished up... took maby 30-40 min i guess 1st time.. am i missing something? or did you all take advantage of having the cover off and clean the valvetrain? Thats probably what i shoulda done, but I'll open the can of worms when it gets warm out again... yah know?

man u guys suck.. ahah jk...


u totally didnt answer the question can u re read it..

i want to know if the oil in there is messsing anything up.. or hurting performance..

i dont care how long it takes. grrrrrrrr

oil in spark plugs + less spark = loss of performance.

I'd change it.

"Anything in parenthesis can (not) be ignored."

if it seeps in you could mess up the wires / spark plugs. So just check them when you do the valve cover gasket, and yes this can hurt performance if the plugs/wires are bad.
