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)

esi with 50k great shape for sale, afx udp, stock otherwise.
