47766, oil all over the spark plugs, what's up? Posted by NicksDSM, Mar-28-03 10:41 AM
OK i changed my spark plugs today and when I took the old ones out the had oil all over them. I think I need a new head gasket, what do you think. I have 95000 miles on the car.

yes you may need a HG But when there is oil on the plugs all you need to do is change the valve cover gasket and the spark plug tube gaskets, its the spark plug tube gaskets that leak causing the oil on the plugs.

i had massive oil in there, and then changed the gaskets and it was worse. huge pool on top of the valve cover. cehck your oil cap. i had to buy a freaking ricey ass silver honduh cap (they have better placement of the sealing o-ring)

cyclinder #4 got me the other day......went to change plugs and pulled out oil on my ratchet......ALOT.......so today i bought the value cover gasket and fixed it.......one thing though......the gasket was 19.99 at mitsu dealer and the plug gaskets where 5 bux each......i went ahead and bought all of them and replaced them all...might as well since u already got the VC off anyway......when u put the new one on....i sugguest buyin some rvt silicone and puttin some on the sides.....by the battery and by the cam gears.....
